Pass the Rum:The Rise and Fall of Prohibition
Location: Meeting Room / Zoom
HYBRID EVENT
While most people are aware of prohibition in the 1920, during the so called Noble Experiment, attempts to regulate this behavior extend far into our past. While the program pays deeper attention to the modern era, as the nation and the State of Delaware struggled to live with the prohibition law for nearly 14 years, it takes a much longer view. During the presentation the audience will hear colorful stories of rum runners, moonshiners, bathtub gin, intriguing personalities, complicated politics, organized crime, and the temperance movement. The first 20 participants will be guaranteed a seat in the audience if they wish and will be called to confirm. Subsequent registrants will be able to watch the program via Zoom. Sponsored by Delaware Humanities. Registration opens Nov. 1 @ 10 am.
