The Roaring Twenties

Post date: Feb 22, 2012 9:26:22 PM

I will be hosting a class at 1:00 pm MT on Thu, 2-22 on the topic of the Jazz Age, otherwise known as the "Roaring 20's." After participating in the horrendous carnage of WWI, America spent the decade of the 1920's trying to forget the horrors of war, international politics and conflict, and instead focused on enjoying themselves and having fun. The 20's was a decade of massive change: society faced new ideas, technology changed at a dizzying pace, and people listened to Jazz music as they happily ignored the prohibition. We will go over some of the highlights of this era during this class. Project Credit: Attendance in this live class will fulfill the requirements of your live class assignment for this unit.
