The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series

Welcome to another compelling episode of the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series on radio and podcast. Today, we delve into a riveting chapter of American history with Smithsonian historian Jon Grinspan, as we explore the story of the Wide Awakes—an extraordinary political movement that shaped the trajectory of our nation in the tumultuous years leading up to the Civil War.  Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan, a returning guest, and Curator of Political History, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution will be appearting at Smithslonian Associates coming up.  Please check out our show notes today for more information about Jon Grinspan’s upcoming Smithsonian Assocaites presentation, titled, “The Wide Awakes: The Forgotten Force the Spurred the Civil War.”  and available at Apple Books.  But we have Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan today, to tell us more about his new book, ‘Wide Awake,” and his presentation at Smithsonian Associates.

At the dawn of the 1860 presidential campaign, a small group of fervent young Northerners emerged to protect anti-slavery speakers from violent attacks. These individuals, calling themselves the Wide Awakes, quickly grew into a massive movement, attracting hundreds of thousands of young men and women from diverse backgrounds. They marched through cities with torch-lit processions, their uniforms and disciplined formations creating a striking visual spectacle that captured the nation’s attention.

But the impact of the Wide Awakes extended far beyond their impressive marches. They became a powerful symbol of the fight for majority rule, the defense of free speech, and the relentless push against the institution of slavery. Their efforts played a critical role in the election of Abraham Lincoln and set the stage for the seismic shifts that would soon engulf the nation in civil war.

In today's episode, Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan takes us on a journey through his latest book, "Wide Awake," providing a nuanced examination of this influential movement. We will uncover how the Wide Awakes' visual strategies, organizational prowess, and unwavering commitment to their cause galvanized public opinion and reshaped the political landscape. We'll also explore the dual perceptions of the Wide Awakes as both a beacon of hope for a rising majority and a potential paramilitary threat to the South.

Join us as we delve into the rich history of the Wide Awakes, drawing parallels to contemporary political movements and understanding the enduring legacy of their activism. This is an episode you won't want to miss—one that sheds light on the power of protest, the complexities of democracy, and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to stand up for justice.

Thank you for tuning in to the Not Old Better Show. Let's dive into this fascinating discussion with Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan.

Saunter (Original Mix)

Peace on Earth was born from the need to turn music into a space for unity, awareness, and a collective call for peace. In a world marked by injustice and violence, we believe that art, music, and collaboration can create moments of silence, reflection, and hope.

This compilation is a tribute to the children who have lost and continue to lose their lives to war, hunger, poverty, and inequality. It is also a gesture of gratitude: while some of us are able to live our childhood dreams, millions of children will never have that chance.

The project began with an original track by Bodaishin & Lupe Republic, composed more than two years ago. Eight artists from different corners of the world offered to reinterpret it, working with the same stems but translating them into unique emotions, processes, and perspectives. The result: 10 diverse interpretations, united by one message.

With the support of Proton, 100% of the profits from this compilation will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, directly contributing to their humanitarian work in the most affected areas.
