The Culture Wars: How Can We Lower the Temperature? The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series. I'm your host, and as we stand on the precipice of America's 250th anniversary, the air is thick with the sparks of cultural contention. But today, we ask a pivotal question: "The Culture Wars: How Can We Lower the Temperature?" In this episode, we're diving into the undercurrents of America's grand narrative with none other than Clay Jenkinson, a public humanities scholar who wields the past not as a weapon, but as a lantern in the murky debates of the present.  Clay Jenkinson will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates Interview Series coming up.  Please check out our website and show notes today for more details.  The title of Clay Jenkinson’s presentation via Zoom is The Culture Wars: How Can We Lower the Temperature?" Clay Jenkinson’s presentation, rich with the wisdom of a seasoned historian, invites us to consider the full spectrum of America's journey — the valor and the vices, the triumphs, and the tribulations. As statues fall and the legacies of figures like Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson face the tides of modern scrutiny, Jenkinson offers a voice of moderation. He beckons us away from the extremes of glorification and vilification to a place where we can engage with our history — all of it — with honesty and grace. He challenges us to see the removal of a statue not as an erasure, but as a conversation, to view the controversies not as battles, but as the growing pains of a democracy still striving towards its ideals. So, as we prepare to mark a milestone in our nation's history, let us approach the conversation with both the reverence and the critical eye it deserves. Let's explore the paths to cool the fires of division and fan the flames of understanding. Stay tuned as we navigate the heated corridors of America's past and present, seeking the cool waters of consensus and the fertile ground of mutual respect. This is The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, and I'm ready to embark on this journey with you. Let the conversation begin.

Uncovering Your Family's Legacy: Genealogy and  Newspapers.com The Not Old Better Show, Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and we’re broadcasting from just outside Washington, DC today. We are delving into the fascinating world of genealogy and family history. As part of our Back Story Family History interview series, we have a special guest today who will ignite your passion for uncovering your ancestral stories and the incredible resources available at Newspapers.com. Our guest, Jenny Ashcraft, is a true family history enthusiast. She's also a genealogist and researcher; her love for the written word shines through her work. Jenny finds immense joy in helping others discover their family histories, whether it's immersing herself in dusty archives, deciphering manuscripts, or uncovering hidden gems in the pages of historic newspapers. As the renowned author Alex Haley, who penned "Roots: The Saga of an American Family," aptly puts it, "In all of us, there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage—to know who we are and where we came from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning." Genealogy offers more than just historical insights; it provides profound psychological benefits, especially for older adults. It satisfies basic needs like acceptance and friendship, fulfills ego needs such as achievement and status, and contributes to self-actualization. For our aging audience, tracing their roots can lead to a sense of accomplishment, a connection to a family legacy, and an understanding of their own worth within the context of their ancestors' lives. It also helps with the acceptance of the concept of death and mortality, a crucial aspect of our journey through life. Moreover, older individuals who pay attention to their family health history are better equipped to manage their well-being and contribute positively to the health of future generations. Our show today is packed with insights into genealogy, valuable resources for family research, and more. So, please join me in warmly welcoming our guest, the esteemed genealogist Jenny Ashcraft. I want to express my gratitude to Jenny for sharing her time, expertise, and thoughtful insights with us today. You can find additional links, resources, and information on our website and explore the wealth of content available on Newspapers.com.
