QUICK CLIPS from the VIDEO ARCHIVES GREENSBORO FOUR - SIT-IN at the LUNCH COUNTER On the 1st of February, 1960, four African Americans tried to order food (including a piece of cherry pie) at the Greensboro F.W. Woolworth store. Go back in time to watch what happened when four young men decided to challenge the lunch counter's "whites only" policy. COLUMBIA - THE LOST ASTRONAUTS On February 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia exploded. Seven astronauts were onboard. This video clip features the astronauts during their last minutes of life. Of all the many videos made during Columbia's last mission, only this one was found in the debris field. COLUMBIA - DISINTEGRATING DESCENT On the 1st of February, 2003, two Royal Dutch Air Force pilots were training on a Longbow Apache Helicopter (AH-64) out of Fort Hood, Texas. Practicing maneuvers, the pilots were about 100 feet above ground when they saw a most unusual sight. They recorded a video with their gun camera which depicts disintegration of the space shuttle Columbia. The video, released by the Department of Defense, was a key piece of evidence as government investigators tried to determine what happened to the crew and their orbiter. COLUMBIA - THE "BLACK BOX" FALLS TO EARTH Sixty kilometers above the states of Louisiana and Texas, the space shuttle Columbia began to disintegrate on the morning of February 1, 2003. People driving their cars - or fishing in their boats - avoided fatal injuries as more than 80,000 pieces of debris - some of it huge - fell to Earth. Six weeks after the disaster, a searcher found the shuttle's "black box." Although it did not have a protective casing, the data recorder had survived a 37-mile fall before it landed in a swampy area near the town of Hemphill, Texas. AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI RETURNS to IRAN Exiled for nearly 15 years, Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran on the 1st of February, 1979. Who was he? What were his beliefs? Why did his return cause an Islamic Revolution in Iran? JAMES JOYCE - AUTHOR OF ULYSSES James Joyce - an Irishman, born on February 2, 1882 - wrote one of the most famous English-language novels of all times. Who was Joyce? What was he up to in Ulysses? END of QUEEN VICTORIA'S REIGN Queen Victoria was laid to rest on the 2nd of February, 1901. She gave her name to an age, but what do we really know about her? This video clip gives us some background of the Queen at the time of her death. THE "BIG BOPPER" and HIS NEW GRAVESITE Nearly 50 years after an airplane crash killed Buddy Holly, J.P. ("The Big Bopper") Richardson and Ritchie Valens, there was a reason to move the Bopper's grave site. Because his remains had to be exhumed anyway, his family members thought it would be good to find out what happened to their loved one on "the day the music died." The examining doctor tells us what he found. YALTA - A CONFERENCE WHICH CHANGED THE WORLD During the closing months of World War II, three leaders - Churchill, FDR (looking extremely worn and frail) and Stalin - met in the Crimean town of Yalta. The decisions made by the Allies - at that February 4, 1945 meeting - changed the political make-up of Europe for decades to come. DEATH of KING GEORGE VI George VI - Britain's monarch (featured in The King's Speech) who had struggled so hard to overcome his stammering - became a much-loved leader during World War II. When he died, very unexpectedly - on February 6, 1952 - his loss stunned the whole country. This historical footage provides a glimpse into the reaction of the British people. GUADALCANAL - A TURNING EVENT IN WWII February 8, 1943 marked a turning point in WWII's "Pacific Theater." For the first time, Allied forces defeated the Japanese by securing the strategically located island of Guadalcanal. As Japan lost control of islands in the Pacific, its leaders also lost control of air strips vital to their conquest plans. SHERGAR, the AWESOME RACE HORSE In 1983, Shergar - the incredibly fast "horse of the year" - disappeared on the 8th of February. Why did Lloyds of London have to pay a $10.6 million insurance claim for him? Why did it take 25 years to solve the mystery of Shergar's disappearance? EXECUTION of MARY, QUEEN of SCOTS It was said, after Mary Queen of Scots was executed at the Castle of Fotheringhay on 8 February 1587, that her lips continued to move for fifteen minutes after her death. That claim is repeated in this recreation of events, from Elizabeth R, featuring Glenda Jackson in the title role and Vivian Pickles as the doomed queen. MACBETH - AN ANIMATED SUMMARY Speaking of Scottish royalty, Macbeth comes to mind. Shakespeare's play - about this King of the Scots - was based on an actual ruler from the 11th century. How did Shakespeare hear the original story, and how did he use it as background for his famous tragedy? NELSON MANDELA - RELEASED FROM PRISON On the 11th of February, 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from 27 years in prison for his opposition to South Africa's apartheid. In this clip - from Mandela's only-known video interview, before his decades of confinement - we hear him explain why he rejected non-violence as the best form of resistance to the apartheid regime. LADY JANE GREY - QUEEN for 9 DAYS A former queen of England - for nine days, that is - was put to death for treason on February 12, 1554.

  • Introduction James Polk Is Known As the First Dark Horse Candidate for The
    “The Dark Horse” Introduction James Polk is known as the first dark horse candidate for the US presidency. Though it is a stretch to call a former seven term US congressman, Speaker of the House, and governor unknown, many people were surprised by his nomination. Political campaigns were a lot different when Polk was alive. As a dark horse candidate, James Polk and the Democrats had to come up with a way to beat Henry Clay and the Whigs. In this lesson plan, your students will explore what the presidential campaign of 1844 looked and sounded like through the analysis of primary and secondary sources then plan, develop, and execute their own campaign. Objectives A. Research and analyze primary and secondary sources to explore how political conventions worked in 1844. B. Examine primary source excerpts from newspapers, personal accounts, and political documents to identify differences between the two major political parties during James Polk’s candidacy. C. Analyze political cartoons, ribbons, and songs to understand how political messages were spread during the 1844 campaign. D. Demonstrate understanding of the complex issues facing the United States during the 1844 campaign through the creation of political cartoons, songs, and speeches. TN State Standards 5.4 Identify the impact of important Tennesseans prior to the Civil War, including: President James K. Polk (Manifest Destiny) 8.53 Identify the major events and impact of James K. Polk’s presidency, including the annexation of Texas and the settlement of the Oregon boundary. TN.22 Describe the contributions of President James K. Polk to Tennessee and American history.

  • The Gentleman Rider: Two Centuries of Amateurism in Sport
    Captains Courageous: Gentlemen Riders in British Horseracing 1866-1914.1 Wray Vamplew & Joyce Kay University of Stirling I The first day of June 1904, a wet Wednesday at Epsom Downs, and leading professional jockey Kempton Cannon piloted St Amant home to win the Derby, the blue riband classic of the British turf. Three lengths behind was second favourite John o’Gaunt in the Cambridge blue and white colours of Sir John Thursby but under an amateur, his half-brother George. Behind George were six other professionals. ‘Mr’ Thursby had already ridden his sibling’s horse into second place in the Two Thousand Guineas that year, again beaten by St Amant. This was not the end of his riding achievements in the classics. Two years later he repeated his Derby feat on Picton and in 1908 was yet again second in the Two Thousand Guineas, this time on Sir Archibald. Four places in elite races says much about Thursby’s riding skills, but that was the sum of success by amateur riders at the highest level of British flat racing. Over fences the situation was very different. Between 1871 and 1885 gentlemen riders won 12 Grand Nationals, the premier event of the National Hunt calendar, five more between 1885 and 1897, and a further three by 1915. In their riding ‘careers’ Arthur Yates won 460 races, including 67 in season 1872/73 a record for an amateur, and Roddy Owen 254.2 Several amateurs actually won the National Hunt Riders championship including John Randolph ‘Jack’ Anthony, one of three Carmarthenshire brothers who all became racehorse trainers.
