In this one-hour presentation, music is used as a “lens” into the major events and ponderings of the decade. Some of the issues that marked the 70s included inflation, the Vietnam War, women’s rights, racial injustice, and unemployment. And who can forget the 1973 oil crisis with its long lines and rationing? There is no shortage of music that tells the story of the 70s. This multimedia presentation includes audio and video clips coupled with live music and even a few singalongs.

The presenter is Fran Hart, founding member of the Beatles tribute band 4EverFab. The presentation is family-friendly and suitable for all ages.
