To help ensure the success of their endeavor, and protect the big league prospects of future African-American players, Robinson agreed to ignore the threats and abuse that Rickey assured him he would face.That sea- son, Robinson kept his word and remained silent while he dazzled fans with his brilliant Jackie play and led the Dodgers to the National Robinson League pennant. By the end of the year, he was the most famous black man in the country, and in one poll, he finished second only to Bing Crosby as the most popular American.

Jazz Fridays, April 1 –22 at 9 p.m. The Robinson family Explore the evolution – and the genius – of America’s greatest original art form, focusing on the extraordi- nary men and women who could do something remark- able: create art on the spot.Their profoundly enduring, endlessly varied and infinitely alluring music is cele- brated in the context of the complicated country that Billie Holiday gave birth to it and was, in turn, transformed by it. Complex and engaging portraits include many of the greatest figures in jazz, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Bix Beiderbecke, Fletcher Henderson, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Much more than the evolution of the music alone, this 10-part series is also about sex, romance and the rituals of courtship in America; it is about joy, celebration, and having a good time; it is about the rise of records, radio and television; it is about min- strels, lynching and the struggle for civil rights; it is about the sufferings of the Great Depression and the sacrifices our nation made in two world wars; it is about drugs, Meanwhile, in Stamford, Connecticut, the dissipation and pain – and the life-affirming art that comes out of it all. Please note Robinson family faced the challenge of inte- grating schools, social clubs and Little that some weeks two episodes are scheduled back-to-back.

  • 10 That Changed America
    10 That Changed America Episode Guide 10 Buildings That Changed America Explore 10 trend-setting works of architecture that have shaped and inspired the American landscape. These aren’t just historic structures by famous architects – they’re buildings with global influence that have dramatically changed the way people live, work, and play. Hosted by Geoffrey Baer, the program features striking videography, rare archival images, distinctive animation, and interviews with some of the most insightful historians and architects (including Frank Gehry and Robert Venturi). This is a journey that will take viewers inside these groundbreaking works of art and engineering. It is also a journey back in time, to discover the shocking, funny, and even sad stories of how these buildings came to be. And ultimately, it is a journey inside the imaginations of ten daring architects who set out to change the way we live, work, worship, learn, shop, and play. Buildings profiled include Frank Gehry’s Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, a Prairie-style home by Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Ford’s first Model T factory, Dulles International Airport, and the Trinity Church in Boston designed by H.H. Richardson. 10 Homes That Changed America He was a successful lawyer, a violinist, the father of American archaeology, author of the Declaration of Independence, President of the United States, and a self-taught architect, who helped established his new nation’s sense of style. Thomas Jefferson’s designs for the Virginia State Capitol and the University of Virginia became models for statehouses and college campuses across the country. But it was his own home – inspired by classical temples, and elevated on an idyllic hilltop in Virginia – that Jefferson called his “essay in architecture.” Monticello was more than just an architectural statement; it was also a political one.

    Supporting Neurodiverse Students on Campus and Beyond Eric R. Mitchell, PhD [email protected] [email protected] Amy D. Edwards, Ed.D. [email protected] with Drexel Students Armon Owlia, Robert Barton, and Morgan Murtagh 4th Annual Philadelphia Autism Project Conference “Journey through the Lifespan: Mapping Your Path” In collaboration with Ruttenberg Autism Center and Drexel University October 18, 2019 Objectives: Statistics on the low rates of college success and under-employment for individuals diagnosed on the spectrum are staggering. Developing programs that individualize supports for students are essential for successful transitions. This workshop will explore components of successful transition planning starting at 14 years of age under IDEA, continuing through the college years with ADA accommodations, and preparing graduates for success in vocational settings in the workplace. Ruttenberg Autism Center and Drexel’s DASP program have supported such success, and will discuss with students how these supports have promoted their own educational and vocational trajectories toward a more successful future. Describe components of transition planning that predict success in college and work settings. Identify how colleges can successfully assist neurodiverse students to overcome challenges. Summarize how a local university and service provider are collaborating to address the increasing need for autism accommodations in higher education, leading to success in the workplace. Your Questions….Answered! o On the index card, please write a question you would like answered in this presentation o We will incorporate those answers as we talk!
