The History of Elvis Presley
Elvis revolutionized popular music when he exploded onto the scene in 1956 with his unique blend of gospel, rhythm & blues, and country. His “energetic” performances, distinctive voice, and charismatic persona made him a worldwide cultural icon. It was a wild ride with huge musical successes, underwhelming films, astonishing comebacks, and a sad downward spiral to his death at age 42. Elvis’ impact was seismic and he forever remains: The "King of Rock and Roll."
Presented by community college instructor and pop music expert, Gary Wenstrup.

Lake Park Recreation & Leisure
VIRTUAL: Christmas on State Street
For decades, Christmas in Chicago meant a trip or two to State Street to see the big department stores. And the stores went all-out for Christmas. This illustrated talk traces the history of Christmas celebrations on State Street. Photographs, ads, postcards, menus, and memorabilia trace cherished traditions - from the animated window displays and the Christmas parade, to beloved characters like Uncle Mistletoe, the Cinnamon Bear, and of course, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Presented by pop culture historian, Leslie Goddard, Ph.D.
