Famous and Infamous Women of North Carolina
A Video for Libraries To Use in Place of a Live Presentation While Still Reaching Out to Their Communities
Now in 2020 as we approach the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment recognizing the vote of American women, “Famous and Infamous Women of North Carolina” is available as a video for libraries and nonprofit organizations to substitute for a live presentation while still providing engaging and entertaining programming during our period of physical distancing because of the pandemic. This presentation has been the most popular requested of Randell Jones as an invited member of the Road Scholars Speakers Bureau of the NC Humanities Council since 2007. This video was recorded with a live audience in 2018, so the laughter is real and genuine. The visuals have been enhanced to make this a high-quality presentation.
This live presentation has been one the most popular since 2007.
It is now available in video for libraries and non-profits to use to reach out to their members and patrons.
Staying in Touch with Patrons
Please watch this short 5-minute trailer hosted at YouTube and then consider how your non-profit organization or local North Carolina library can use this video for your members and patrons to watch safely from home during this time we cannot gather together. Libraries have a special opportunity to get free copies of several titles from the Personal Story Publishing Project and also “From Time to Time in North Carolina” and “Scoundrels, Rogues, and Heroes of the Old North State.” Interested organizations and libraries can contact us to learn more.
Libraries recommending this video to other libraries can earn copies of these titles for their collections. Contact us for details.
The stories come from “Scoundrels, Rogues, and Heroes of the Old North State” by Dr. H.G. Jones, edited by Randell Jones and Caitlin Jones.
