Must You Dance -- Everyday? If You Must -- Make it Pay!

From November 10 to 12, 1938, some of the best jitterbug dancers in the midwest gathered at the Minneapolis Armory to strut their stuff. Competitors showed off their "shim-sham," "Harlem shuffle," "campus stomp," "Frisco," and "Moochy" in the hopes of winning cash prizes. First prize went to Minneapolis residents Gerry Price, 17, and her partner Neal Ford, 18. Price told the Minneapolis Journal she would put her half of the $75 prize in the bank, or maybe spend it on new clothes.

Long before PragerU, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars rewrote textbooks to promote "Americanism" at the expense of reality.

Lucy Monroe: The Star-Spangled Girl

Lucy Monroe (1906-1987) was called “The Star-Spangled Girl” and “The Star-Spangled Soprano” not merely to indicate that she was patriotic, a la the girl in the eponymous Neil Simon comedy. She literally performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” thousands of times. Oddly, most biographies of the singer seem to present that fact, and the detail that she was a direct descendent of the U.S. President…
