The Roaring 20’s It has been called the age of jazz, the era of won-derful nonsense and the roaring 20s. It was a de-cade that pitted traditional conservatives against reformist liberals; science against religion; and rural vs. urban. The twenties started the celebri-ty-obsessed and consumerism-based society that we live in today. We will look at Prohibition, the Rise of the KKK, the Scopes Trial, Lindbergh’s flight, Hollywood, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Lost Generation which led to the writing of the Great Gatsby. This will be an evening with many connections to today’s political and so-cial climate. Come and examine one of Amer-ica’s most fun and least understood decades. Limit: 40
