September Meeting ~ Mixers and Shakers – Tracing Your Bootlegging, Shimmy-Shaking, and Repeal-Seeking Ancestors During and After Prohibition with Debra Dudek

September 17 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm EDT

Join us along with Debra Dudek as she presents her program “Mixers and Shakers – Tracing Your Bootlegging, Shimmy-Shaking, and Repeal-Seeking Ancestors During and After Prohibition.”  Temperance advocates celebrated victory when America  went dry in 1920.  For a short time, the great experiment appeared to curb the ills associated with imbibing alcohol.  However, American drinking culture moved to private clubs, home production, and overtly shady acquisition.   This program will lead you through an assortment of prohibition and post-repeal day resources which will help demystify your ancestor’s relationship with alcohol from 1920-1933.  Second lecture in a two-part series.

Speaker will be remote.
