The title is taken from films which bookend the era: "Easy Rider" (1969) and "Raging Bull" (1980).

Poole High School: Stafford Vocational Annex, Rowser Educational Center, and the Rowser Building, is a historic school building for African American students located at Stafford, Stafford County, Virginia.  The original section was built in 1939, and enlarged in 1943, 1954, 1958, and 1960.  After the 1954 addition, the facility consisted of: eight standard classrooms, a principal's office, a clinic and teacher's lounge, library, homemaking department, cafeteria kitchen, combination auditorium-gymnasium, and modern (at the time) rest rooms.

Raymond Asquith (6 November 1878 – 15 September 1916) was an English barrister and son of British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith.  A distinguished Oxford scholar, he was a member of a fashionable group of intellectuals known as The Coterie, notable for unconventional lifestyles and lavish hospitality.  Like several of them, Asquith was killed in action in World War I. The Maurice Debate was a debate in the British House of Commons which took place on 9 May 1918, during the First World War.  A senior British Army officer, Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice, made public the spectacular allegation that the War Cabinet had deliberately held British soldiers back from the Western Front, and had lied to Parliament about it.  The leader of the Liberal Party, H. H. Asquith, took up the allegations and attacked Prime Minister David Lloyd George, also a Liberal.  It ripped apart the Liberal Party.  While Asquith's attack was ineffective, Lloyd George vigorously defended his position, treating the debate like a vote of confidence.  He won over the House with a powerful, if misleading, speech, refuting all of Maurice's allegations.  The debate did not cause the profound split in the Liberal Party, but did make it more visible and harder to heal.  The main results were to strengthen Lloyd George, weaken Asquith, end public criticism of overall strategy, and strengthen civilian control of the military. Herbert Henry Asquith, 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith, (12 September 1852 – 15 February 1928), generally known as H. H. Asquith, served as the Liberal Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916, and was the last Liberal leader to lead that party in government without forming a coalition.  He had a central role in the design and passage of major liberal legislation.  In August 1914, Asquith took the United Kingdom into the First World War, but resigned amid political conflict in December 1916 and was succeeded by his War Secretary David Lloyd George. The Birtley Belgians emigrated from Belgium to Birtley in what is now Gateshead, Tyne & Wear but was then County Durham (Britain) during World War I to create an armaments factory.  In the early stages of the War, British authorities realised that the national armaments production would not produce the number and quality needed to fight the German Imperial Army.  A 1915 shell shortage was reported in the papers, and the ensuing crisis contributed to bringing down the government of H.H. Asquith.  The new government commissioned armament factories throughout Britain, although the challenge of staffing these factories remained high.  The British recruited Belgians, known for their excellent armament factories, to man the plant in Birtley. Helen Violet Bonham Carter, Baroness Asquith of Yarnbury, DBE (15 April 1887 – 19 February 1969), known until her marriage as Violet Asquith, was a British politician and diarist.  She was the daughter of H. H. Asquith, Prime Minister from 1908–1916, and later became active in Liberal politics herself, being a leading opponent of appeasement, standing for Parliament and being made a life peer.  She was also involved in arts and literature.  Her illuminating diaries cover her father's premiership before and during the First World War and continue until the 1960s.
