Jimmy Carter will be 100 if he lives until at least October 1st. If he does, he’ll make history of being America’s first president to live a century. UPDATE: He made it to 100. Congratulations Jimmy!
It's just the way his face is built. He's one of the elite and he had quite a fantastic life. To his credit though, he did work with habitat for humanity@@TrollCapAmerica
We all wish her a very Happy Birthday! Wow! Not many people live to 100. I have an aunt who is close to the century mark as well. I think she was born the same year as your mom if I am not mistaken. 🎂
My paternal grandfather was born in 1897 and my paternal grandmother was born in 1905.They married in 1924 and in 1974 I remember their 50th wedding anniversary.I was born in 1963 and the house I bought was built in 1924.
Pretty cool! My Dad was born in 1918, the year of the pandemic and my Mom in 1920. They had me, their final baby and only girl in 1964. I never met my maternal grandparents because my grandfather was unalived by a hit and run driver on the Key Bridge in the D.C. area. It was believed at that time, 1923, that my grandmother either was driving the car who struck him or had someone else do it. He was only 27. Flashing forward to 1947, my eldest brother was born and he bore an uncanny resemblance to our grandfather. In 1974, he also died at age 27, by his own hand. I was ten at the time. Flash forward 27 years and on what would have been his birthday, the 9/11 attacks occurred. Life can get pretty bizarre sometimes. I feel very blessed to know and love our Savior Jesus Christ because times are getting darker and weirder all the time!!!
@@catholiccrusader5328 I’m a 60 year old white woman who grew up playing the clarinet in school, concert band, symphony, marching band and a musical in high school. The musical was Hello Dolly! Satchmo was beyond amazing in his performances of that. As much as I love his trumpet playing, his awesome vocals are still unparalleled. It’s a funny thing, yesterday I decided to drop by the Goodwill to try to find a huge pot for fabric dyeing, and lo and behold, there was a beautiful student trumpet for sale for only twenty bucks!! Well, you know I snatched that right up! So little old me is going to try to learn to play. Funny coincidence considering my message to you! It’s wonderful to be proud of what our forebears accomplished, and you certainly have a right to be proud! 😀🎺
Just stumbled upon your channel! FACINATING! My grandparents were not even born yet. Summer of 1925, still with me I am happy to say! Will subscribe now!! God bless you and everyone here 🙏, Joey in Cleveland
It seems a little too glowing. No refridgerators, only ice boxes, no air conditioning or washing machines. Only 1% had indoor plumbing. Most roads outside of the cities were not paved. My grandfather said how thrilled he was to get a tractor, but that was in the 30's. I bet most farmers in the 20's were still using horse drawn equipment. Electricity use was ramping up but it wasn't common. My grandmother said a wood stove for cooking really sucked. Toilet paper may have been pages ripped out of a catalog. Lindbergh hadn't crossed the Atlantic yet, making airplanes still a bit of a novelty. Interesting footage but it makes sense that you are mostly going to get the upper crust.
I mean sure but in 2120 people will look back at this era and talk about RU-vid and SpaceX and everyone having fun watching Vtubers and playing Fortnite with talk about crippling poverty and an upcoming civil war just being a footnote in the background
In 1924 my grandfather was 10 years old living in the mines of California. His father was a drinker and worked out of town leaving the family to fend for themselves. I have the .22 rifle he, my grandfather, paid for with working and saving he fed his entire family with the gun, I believe the cost was around $28.00
5:09...The vintage footage mislabeled Harding as 28th president. (actually 29th). Seconds later, at 5:15...Coolidge was also incorrectly called our 29th president. But kudos to RU-vidr "History of Life" for correctly stating Coolidge was actually our 30th president. Perhaps the vintage videographer only counted how many men served as president as of 1924. That would have been 29, but not taking into account that President Cleveland was both our 22nd (1885-1889) and 24th (1893-1897) presidents.
I love history and metal detecting; so this vid is awesome. Find tons of things from this era; 1930-1940 stuff is waaaaay tough to find. Excellent job.
Both my parents were born in 1924. Which meant going through the great depression as teenagers, then WWII in the first half of the 1940s......Strength through adversity. We Baby Boomers experienced a much more comfortable adolescence and teenage years.(I won't say we were "spoiled"..... Just lucky.....Thanks. .....😎😎😎
@@HistoryOfLife123 Your upload was junk! Nothing about 1924 construction, most wanted criminals, most popular food recipies, best movies in theaters, newest science discoveries? You can do better!
The world of tunnel design and construction lost a great innovator, Clifford M. Holland, who was involved in the Hudson River motor vehicle tunnel building. This was the first mechanically ventilated passageway making it safe to drive without fear of carbon monoxide poisonings. It would be known as the Hudson motor vehicle tunnel. Holland died unexpectedly on October 27, 1924. The construction continued until its completion in 1927. It would be renamed the Holland Tunnel, in memorial to Clifford.
A clip showed a marquee with Ginger Rogers & Dick Powell starring in a movie. These two actors began their film careers in the early 1930s. Cars shown in the shot were from the same period.
I would love to watch your video, but I cannot handle "The Valley Girl / "Vocal Fry" narrative voice of this young lady narrator; it sounds like a person who is still in eighth grade talking to friends at Nutrition Break about a time long ago.
Improve pronunciation and ordinal numbers are used for dates. Do you say “ Four July ” or “ Fourth of July”? Is Christmas “ twenty -five December “ or “ the twenty -fifth of December”?
Yup, World War 2 and The Great Depression. It's better to live in 2024. You can just watching this video and then write a comment while lying down on the bed without wars around you!
One of the biggest mistakes I made was not asking my grandparents what it was like to live then. Huge mistake!!! 😢 They were young with young children in 1924.
Awww, we feel you on that. I'm sure your grandparents would have shared a wealth of information about their lives in 1924. Nonetheless, thank you for stopping by our channel. Hope to hear from you again, Yvonne! 😄
I never asked old guys about those things either, now I am close to 74 and no one asks me about the "old days." There was once though, I mentioned to a kid that I had worked on the f-4 and he was really interested.
Crazy that we live in a time when almost nobody actually remembers this decade. Some of the oldest people alive were born in this decade and were just small children while most of this was going on. Also the people that lived in the Midwest, the south, Texas, and the west would have had a completely different life than the ones of the people focused on in this video. They were focused on people that lived in new york. These were the wealthiest people on America at the time. Not everyone lived like that. It's almost certain that your own great or great great grandparents didn't (my great grandparents were born from 1899 to about 1910, so they'd have either been teenagers or adults during the 20s). I know my great grandfather was a musician that played with some famous musicians during his time, but he was mostly just a salesman that went door to door selling whatever he could. He certainly wasn't wealthy. He was mugged coming out of a casino in Las vegas in 1987, 2 months after I was born for 50 bucks. He died a week later of his injuries.

80-90% of t he population lived in small towns and farms and had limited exposure to the trends, and tech advances would mostly not reach them for another decade. In fact, anything requiring electricity would not appear in many of these areas until the Rural Electrification Act under FDR.
My grandmother moved to Elmira, NY in '24 when she was 17. I'm fascinated by what life was like for her....as by what Elmira was like then. Unfortunately life in Elmira, like Elmira itself, has not improved...which I witnessed in my own lifetime; ever since the Flood of '72 which, oddly enough, was the year I turned 17!
@@warrenlewis3977 There were four belligerent countries, a Caribbean theater and a Pacific theater in the Spanish American War. How do you define global scale? We had to get our Navy to the other side of the planet and then attack the enemy.
It's when I had my great-grandparents alive. I was born in 1992. I don't care about fashion; I just enjoy history. But then nudism wasn't really brought to the United States until 1929. America, by the way, is a continent, not a country. Part of the first modern decade, as the TV was invented and more advanced medicine came for the first time as well.
Basically okay, but some of the facts were not accurate and some of the words mispronounced. BTW, when the Egyptian craze was discussed a still was shown from CLEOPATRA which was made in 1934!
I once asked my mum what it was like growing up in the 20's. She said it was a nightmare. The family was dirt poor and from what she told me The Waltons was nothing but a fairytale. On another note you have mixed up so many decades. Do some research.
I normally wouldn't mention it but since you are so obviously attempting to "mimic Mary Hart".... we can still hear your accent. That is why you're using the fake voice right? To hide your accent? Yeah it's still there. We can totally hear it.
Considering all the first few minutes did was repeat several times that this video about life 100 years ago, yeah, we got that. I wanted to hear about life 100 years ago and not just keep hearing about the title of the video. Smh

Unfortunately, that was the way then. The British empire crushed entire continents full of people. They were defeated and so considered "less than". Second class. A lot of the Enlightenment values of the founders during the Revolution and the writing of the Constitution questioned those ideas. And that only gentry could own property or vote. That's how the United States came to recognize that previous ways of regarding Native Americans and African people both in slavery and in Mexico and other Latino countries. That's why the vote was extended to various groups untill it is mostly universal. These were all parts of the Great Experiment. Democracy.
@kimkelly5512 Justice, you don't know anything about justice. The word justice is just a buzz word. People like you throw around to make yourself feel better about your insecurities.
@@portugeseking7959 No I don't throw it around to make myself feel better, people like you have no idea what justice is. And you start saying a lot of empty words to try and make yourself look smart.
They way you don’t say the dates correctly, instead of saying 1st you say one. You said Louis Armstrong, but it was Louie. No one says Cleveland, no one says land, it’s more like Clevelend
