As the multi-Oscar nominated Abraham Lincoln film comes to a screen near you, we talked about its portrayal of the man and how Hollywood has added to our knowledge of history. 150 years ago this month, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which made the abolition of slavery in the confederate states an official goal of the American Civil War. Stephen Speilberg’s new film, Lincoln deals with the President’s efforts two years later to formally abolish slavery in the United States. Steven Benedict, lecturer in film and Tom Plank, Chairman of Republicans Abroad Ireland previewed this film for us. Lincoln opens in cinemas nationwide this coming Friday, the 25th of January. 0:26:04 http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2013/0120/20130120_rteradio1-thehistoryshow-januarylin_c20143542_20143546_232_.mp3 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 12:00:00 +0000 no 50375176 20143542 RTÉ:Ireland http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2013/0120/20130120_rteradio1-thehistoryshow-raisingthe_c20143543_20143547_232_.mp3 Donal Fallon highlights one of the more bizarre events of the Irish Revolutionary period Donal Fallon highlights one of the more bizarre events of the Irish Revolutionary period There’s been a lot of talk about our sense of resignation in the face of austerity, rising job losses and apparently unending cutbacks. While the Greeks and others have been out on the streets making a lot of noise, we’ve been staying at home taking it all on the chin. But we weren’t always like that you know! Two days after the foundation of the Free State, on this very weekend in 1922, there was a dramatic expression of class anger complete with a red flag flag flying over a public building in Dublin city centre. Five years after the Russian Revolution, a large group of unemployed workers seized control of the building that’s now the Gate Theatre. They raised the scarlet banner high in protest against what they said was the apathy of the authorities in the face of rising unemployment. It was one of the more bizarre events of the Irish revolutionary period as we heard a piece which was written by historian Donal Fallon and read by David Herlihy. Donal Fallon along with Sam McGrath and Ciaran Murray is the author of Come Here to Me!

As we head into what is shaping up to be the closest U.S. presidential election since 2000, it’s worth examining another famous nail-biter - the 1960 American Presidential Election.The 1960 race for the Whitehouse involved a young Democratic senator from Massachusetts, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and the wily Republican Vice President Richard Milhous Nixon. In many ways it was a turning point in presidential contests. It involved the use of television and advertising in a very modern fashion, while some of the politics still had a foot in the 19th century. Sandra Scanlon of University College Dublin remembered this seminal election. 0:08:30 http://podcast.rasset.ie/podcasts/audio/2012/1104/20121104_rteradio1-thehistoryshow-1960americ_c20033571_20033575_232_.mp3 Sun, 4 Nov 2012 12:00:00 +0000 no 50174433 20033571
