Anything Goes: America During the Jazz Age

Presented by Christopher Daley

Enter the roaring 20s, the decade that defined the 20th century.

"Witness a time when the world was changing at breakneck speed: World events and political upheavals rocked the globe, Prohibition gave rise to speakeasies and notorious gangsters, and the shadowy world of organized crime flourished behind the glitz and glamour.

But the 1920s were more than just headlines-they were a cultural revolution. Say goodbye to the stuffy conventions of the Victorian era and hello to the birth of modern style! Flappers and dapper gents strutted in bold new fashions, while the sounds of jazz, led by legends likeJelly-Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong, set the rhythm for a generation obsessed with youth, excitement, and freedom.

From wild parties to political clashes, from the latest trends to the hottest celebrities, this lecture brings the Jazz Age to life with vivid images and fascinating stories. Whether you’re a history buff, a music lover, or just a fan of all things fabulous, get ready to experience the most explosive and unforgettable decade of the century!"
