We Shall Overcome -- F.W. Woolworth Building
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birth home, church, and grave site comprise this National Historic Site and Preservation District along with the previously National Register-listed Martin Luther King, Jr., Historic District and the historic black commercial area, the Sweet Auburn Historic District. All of these properties are important in understanding both the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the civil rights movement. ... This modest, two-story masonry residence built in St. Louis, Missouri in 1906 is associated with an African American family's struggle for justice that had a profound effect on American society. Because the J. D. Shelley family decided to fight for the right to live in the home of their choosing, the United States Supreme Court addressed the issue of restrictive racial covenants in housing in the landmark 1948 case of Shelley v. Kraemer. ... [Read More]

Idgie and Ruth's Whistle Stop Contest Winners
By the time I was in junior high, we had moved to the edge of town. My parents knew our classmates and teachers and attended all school events, even though both worked in the second Mike’s Café. One of my first boyfriends was afraid to walk me home after the Halloween movie The Beast with Five Fingers. He stopped just short of the railroad track, and I sprinted up the hill to our house. After our one small cinema showed my favorite movie, Singing in the Rain, I danced with an imaginary Gene Kelly and sang, off-key, all the way home. ... [Read More]
Field of Schemes - List of Defendants in FTC Cases
Ran a pyramid scheme via an Internet home page and through group presentations, offering consumers the chance to earn up to $2,250 a week plus bonuses for the purchase of expensive homes, automobiles and vacations, by participating in a purported multi-level marketing scheme to sell fine jewelry. Consumers paid $250 to $2,750 or more and then had to recruit at least two new JewelWay representatives. As with any pyramid scheme, where compensation is based on recruiting new representatives rather than actual sales of products, this one ultimately will collapse and most investors will lose all their money. ...

Social History :Social History of Aviation and Spaceflight - An Overview
Aviation has been the subject of hundreds of movies and television shows. The first Oscar-winner was the 1927 silent movie Wings . Aviation movies depicted real life as passengers in earlier movies changed from being the rich and famous to ordinary people in later ones. Themes included war adventures, romances, and hijacking, and many incorporated air chases or used airplanes for quick transition scenes. ... Space travel has also been common on the silver screen and to a lesser extent on television, but presented in a more fanciful way than aviation since spaceflight is outside the realm of first-hand experience for most. Space movies were introduced years before the first spaceflight and tended to be completely improbable even when they did obey the laws of physics. Aliens of all sizes, shapes, and colors abounded, and nothing seemed impossible. One movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey , affected how people looked at space exploration and, as space historian Howard McCurdy noted, determined what a space station "should" look like. Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. built their plots around extraterrestrial contact. Star Trek , one of the few successful television space shows, developed a huge cult after an uneventful beginning, becoming much more than just a popular television show and later a movie. Its "Space, the Final Frontier" and "Beam me up, Scotty" have entered our vocabula ... [Read More]
