Forty Years of Beatleness: A Multimedia Presentation
and Discussion
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the Beatles’ appearance
on the Ed Sullivan Show, the phenomenon known as
“Beatlemania,” and the release of their groundbreaking film
A Hard Day’s Night. Sociologist and author Candice Leonard, Ph.D.,
will present her unique analysis of this film and her research on why,
after 40 years, the Beatles are still so important not only to their
baby boomer fans, but to our entire culture. This presentation will be
