Prohibition: A Grand Misadventure

Catholic Eldercare will host a free presentation on Monday, Dec. 5, 1:30-3 p.m. at the MainStreet Lodge, 909 Main St. NE.  In 1920, the United States entered a period during which the manufacture, sale, and transportation of intoxicating liquors was banned. As it turned out, the US also entered a period of lawlessness and corruption, unequaled in its history. Many Prohibition supporters felt that the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment would bring about law and order and restore the family. However, numerous unintended consequences make this period one of the most fascinating misadventures of all time. Presented by David Jones as part of Catholic Eldercare’s Elder Enrichment Series.
