1919 – 1941
Between World War I and World War II, the USA experienced a period of significant change. The Roaring Twenties was a time of economic prosperity, cultural dynamism, and social change, marked by jazz music, flappers, and technological advancements. Prohibition, a nationwide ban on alcohol, led to the rise of bootlegging and speakeasies. During this era, the Great Migration saw many African Americans move from the rural South to urban centers in the North for better opportunities. This period also featured the Harlem Renaissance, a flourishing of African American art, literature, and music. The mood shifted drastically at the end of the 1920s with the start of the Great Depression.
