Old Newsreel clips of AA

These are "links to original clips that were shown at what were then called movie houses. Back in the 1946-52 range, televisions were not common in American homes and many watched newsreels of world news and coming attractions prior to the latest movies. These are very interesting to watch - too see historical news reports from AA's early years."

Thank you for sharing! That was way cool! I especially liked the 3rd clip--with the guy named Fred. I can relate to him. Thanks again!

Thank you... The X is 'cuz I messed up...it wouldn't display right. I asked for help so that they can be reposted...I tried so many times the option to edit is gone...I apologize.
They were sent to me in an email and I wanted so to share them . the history of Aa is so remarkable and it was only by studying the history that I finally was convinced to remain on this journey. I am told that some of them are being cut off because I goofed.
I have not been bestowed the gift of being computer literate...in some areas...However...I have been given the gift of learning to ask for help...

hugs to you all

I loved those! I bet they helped a lot of people. They actually made me feel less nervous about attending a meeting. Who knows? Maybe I will!

Love, Kit

I always seem to get a chuckle out of the melodramatic way people speak in those period black-and-whites... with the harps and violins playing in the background... I'm not knocking it, I just find it interesting the way "mass sensibilities" change over time.

All those suits!

Thanks for posting that!

Thanks for the clips, interesting how the program has stayed the same.

GreenTea that was a very different era, almost every one wore a suit, many bums wore old suits.
