Panelists compare yalta, to previous meetings between the three leaders, and examine the political motives that drove the deliberations. The National World War Ii Museum in new orleans hosted the event. Welcome back, as we begin to silence our conversations, please remember to silence your cell phones as well. I was thinking with yalta being an eightday conference, we have almost made a full eight hours talking about it. The last session is often one of our favorites. And that is a roundtable discussion where we get all of the speakers up together to talk about themes, to ask each other questions, and to give you all one last time to pepper one, some, or all of our panelists with your own questions. I would ask that when you have a question, if it is or specific panelist, please name that panelist, or if you want to throw it open to some or all. We are going to ask dr.

Advertising in the 1950s, highlighting Dwight Eisenhowers political campaign. She examines what components made them successful. Her class is about an hour and 10 minutes. Nothing perhaps captures the popular memory of the 1950s like the slogan, i like ike. This idea, this pin that so many people wore around the campaign of 1952 and 1956, conveys a notion of nostalgia and simplicity. It really emphasizes this idea of the 1950s as this era of prosperity.

1950s. Her class is about an hour and ten minutes. Nothing perhaps captures the popular memory of the 1950s like the slogan i like ike. This idea that this spin that so many people wore around the campaign of 1952 and 1956 conveys a notion of nostalgia and simplicity. It shows the 1950s as an era of prosperity where america was a world leader and American People were happy in their suburban homes. I like ike is simple. But this is a myth and a political construction. The 1950s in fact was a time full of racial discrimination. Conflict, intense political and social pressures to conform to a suburban ideal.
