Celebrating America’s Independence
Join WYCC PBS Chicago for a medley of programs featuring America’s history and pride.
T
his 4th of July weekend, take some time to learn more about the country we call home. Historic wars, founding fathers, and difficult situations all helped to shape the United States of America as we know it today. On both July 3 and July 4, WYCC is airing a variety of programs that cover our nation’s history and development, from the Revolutionary War to the present.
Heroes on Deck: World War II on Lake Michigan Sunday, July 3 at 4 p.m. Learn more about a little-known training operation conducted by the U.S. Navy on Lake Michigan during World War II. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, nearly 15,000 pilots—including George H.W. Bush—practiced taking off and landing aircraft in the safety of landlocked Lake Michigan. However, this training was not without its hazards, and over 100 fighters and dive bombers sank to the bottom of the lake. Starting in the late 1970s, a skilled team of professionals developed the tools and techniques to resurrect and restore these once-lost planes.
Forgotten Ellis Island Sunday, July 3 at 5 p.m. During the great wave of immigration, 22 medical buildings sprawled across two islands adjacent to Ellis Island. Tens of thousands of patients were separated from their families and kept at this hospital until they were healed from illness. During this time, 350 babies were born in the hospital, while 3,500 immigrants died there. As America wrestles once again with the issue of immigration, this documentary provides a unique lens on this contentious debate. It is a powerful tribute to the best and worst of America’s dealings with its new citizens-to-be.
6
F.S. Key and the Song That Built America Sunday, July 3 at 7 p.m. This documentary was created to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Francis Scott Key’s writing of America’s national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Key, a constitutional lawyer, famously penned the lyrics following the 12-hour bombardment of Fort McHenry in September 1814. Learn about Key’s major cases, his vehement opposition to the War of 1812, his enlistment in the militia, his participation in the ill-fated defense of Washington, D.C., and his penchant for poetry and art. His life story is told through the eyes of his loving wife, Polly.
Thomas Paine’s To Begin the World Over Again Monday, July 4 at 9 p.m. This one-man play that covers the triumphs and tragedies of Thomas Paine’s life was filmed in front of a live audience at the Lillian Theater in Hollywood. Thomas Paine, a man largely forgotten and greatly misunderstood, is ironically quoted by every political faction in America today. He changed the world, only to have the world he changed turn its back on him. Paine ignited revolutions but would die largely ignored and distained, yet he was at the epicenter of world events when he wrote his books, literally transforming nations through the power of his words.

stationbreak American Politics Between Independence Day and the upcoming presidential election, politics is on many Americans’ minds this month. WYCC PBS Chicago is airing a variety of programs on America’s political history, which in some ways is repeating itself now. Although Thomas Paine was British, he was an influential figure during America’s fight for independence and wrote several books on politics and government. Thomas Paine’s To Begin the World Over Again, airing Monday, July 4 at 9 p.m., covers all of the triumphs and tragedies of his life and the many opinions he had on developing a nation. Ball of Confusion: The 1968 Election, airing Sunday, July 10 at 7 p.m., tells the story of Republican Richard Nixon, Democrat Hubert Humphrey, and Independent George Wallace campaigning for president during a dark period of American history. The world watched as a fractured electorate narrowly and without evident enthusiasm chose Nixon.
An election year is a good time to learn more about the politics that have shaped and continue to shape our nation. From local government to how the United States interacts with other countries around the world, there is a lot to understand. The City Colleges of Chicago offer many political science classes that give students an introduction to this course of study, as well as courses on specific aspects of politics and policy. Please see the CCC Course Catalog for additional courses: http://www.ccc.edu/Pages/ course-catalog.aspx To enroll today or find more information on classes offered by each of the seven City Colleges, please visit
www.ccc.edu or call 773-COLLEGE (773-265-5343). 20
Lyndon Johnson’s civil rights agendas pushed southern states toward the Republican Party and brought the northeast in line with the Democrats. His opponent, Barry Goldwater, had a rift with “the liberal Republican establishment,” which served as a basis for his landslide defeat. Learn more about that election season in Bombs Away: LBJ, Goldwater, and the 1964 Campaign That Changed It All, airing Sunday, July 17 at 7 p.m. Please see the listings for more information.
Politics as a Science POLITICAL SCIENCE 200 – Principles of Political Science History, theories, and various traditional and modern approaches to the study of political institutions and ideas. POLITICAL SCIENCE 201 – The National Government Development, organization, and functioning of the American national government; origin, growth, and interpretation of the Constitution. POLITICAL SCIENCE 202 – Urban Government and Politics Development, forms, functions, powers, and problems of urban government in the United States. Emphasis on metropolitan areas, such as Chicago, and intergovernmental relations. POLITICAL SCIENCE 206 – American Foreign Policy Examination of conduct and control of American foreign policy in today’s complex world; analysis of development of American traditions in foreign policy. POLITICAL SCIENCE 207 – U.S. State and Local Government Study of state and local political jurisdictions and systems, including their powers, organization, functions, development, and contemporary problems.

ONE-MINUTE BIOGRAPHY with
Hendrik Poinar
Dr. Hendrik Poinar is a professor and research chair at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. He is a molecular evolutionary geneticist and biological anthropologist whose main research and teaching interests are archaeology, health, and the Black Death. Dr. Poinar earned both his B.S. and M.S. in molecular biology and biochemistry from the California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. He then completed his Ph.D. in evolutionary genetics at the Ludwig Maximillians Universitat in Munich, Germany. He did postdoc work in microbial genetics at Oregon State University as well as in evolutionary genetics at the Max Planck Institute in Germany. Dr. Poinar is the principal investigator at the Ancient DNA Centre at McMaster, where he focuses on the preservation and extraction of DNA from forensic, archaeological, and paleontological remains. In 2013, Dr. Poinar did a TED Talk on bringing back the woolly mammoth. He and his team extracted DNA from well-preserved remains found in the Yukon and Siberia and began sequencing the genomes in 2006. The next step would be to engineer an animal that closely resembles the woolly mammoth. Viewers can see Dr. Poinar at work as he travels around Europe and beyond to learn more about the bubonic plague during Secrets in the Bones: The Hunt for the Black Death Killer, airing Monday, July 18 at 9 p.m.
