This is one of Mckays piece of poetry.

One important writer was Claude Mckay, the first Harlem Renaissance writer that made a collection of poetry called the "Harlem Shadows" that were published in 1922. His writing shocked Americans about what they to African Americans like " The Lynching". In one of his pieces it says "we must meet the common foe; let us show us brave."  This changed the way people viewed Africans and found out how they were treated. Another writer was Langston Hughes a versatile writer and a leading voice of African Americans experience in America. Zora Neale Hurston, also a writer published "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in the 1930's. It featured African American women as central characters. By all these writers and their novels being published allowed Americans to know what Africans were going through and what they needed to know about Lynching. They brought a different kind of writing to the American society and had no limitations to anything because they now had the rights to do what they wanted.

The Harlem Renaissance
was full of music in Northern cities particularly New York City. It brought African American fame to all of its arts and was the heart and soul of African American renaissance. African American artistic development, racial pride and political organizations went up. African Americans were no longer the slave. They wanted to better themselves and became known as the "New Negro". They brought a pride in their nation and different music, arts, and writings to the North.

Sports became a big thing in the 1920's due to a famous man named Babe Ruth. Babe set the record for hitting over 100 home runs while playing baseball. All this great talent brought crowds to come and watch Babe hit one out of the park. "He was a worldwide celebrity, an international star, the likes of baseball never seen since", as an announcer said. This changed the popular culture because now thousands of people were going out to watch a game and see what baseball was like.

Before technology came, piano players would come to play for the films being made for the plot. In 1927 the Golden Age of Hollywood was "talking" pictures. The "natural tendency of an actor had to be clumsy, crude, unpolished ,ungraceful, nervous, awkward" to be a good actor and entertain. That made entertainment very different and better. Irving Berlin was a famous song writer that worked in New York City. One of his songs included "White Christmas".  Mass media also helped unify the nation with laughter and entertainment by broad casting movies, radios, and magazines. It helped spread new ideas in the 1920's, and entertained people a lot more.

Edward Hopper was an artist and studied Ashcan realist movement. Some of his paintings expressed loneliness during the 1920's. His paintings had haunting scenes and wanted to paint what it felt like to be "modern". Painters and writers focused on alienation of modern society. His paintings "attracted communicants".

"The more ugly the art the more beautiful it was" as many painters said.

The arts were more lonesome and isolated in the 1920's because that's how Hopper felt and thought it was like during the "modern" world.

Edwin Armstrong in 1913 was an American engineer and invented a product that can transmit sound long- range, the radio. Once the radio came out its sales were 12.2 million in 1921 to a huge increase 842.5 million in 1929 for all the radio equipment being sold. In 1928, Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) assembled a network station with musicians, actors, comedians, and movies. Most families would spend time together listening to the radio for entertainment.

Samuel Langley, secretary of Smithschian Institution made airplane models and was given $50,000 by the War Department to create and airplane and fly it with a person in it. His task failed on December 8, 1903. However, nine days later Wilbur and Orville Wright, from Dayton, Ohio spent $1000 from their savings and flew an airplane on December 17, 1903. After that they became very successful and the industry increased rapidly. Glenn Curtiss, an inventor, came up with ailerons which allowed you to steer a plane that was attached to the wings. He later on made aircraft and sold the firsts airplanes to the U.S. Then Charles Lindberg was an airmail pilot and transatlantic solo flight in 1927. After all these  inventors creating new things for the airplane and flying made a huge impact on the world.

After the Ford was made new products were being produced like electric razors, facial tissues, frozen foods, and hair dye. More advertisements started after the products of cleaning supplies and brought up the risk of disease and dirt that could be in  homes which persuaded many customers to buy cleaning supplies like vacuums, washing machines, and refrigerators. The more clean they felt the more they wanted to have a good appearance and have fragrance, deodorant, and cosmetics. The new industries and consumer society contributed to the roaring twenties by enhancing cleanliness with new inventions and to better off your appearance.

Henry Ford, a carmaker made a moving assembly line and was able to build an automobile in 93 minutes. It is a "new era of civilization" and a much better, faster way than "horse carriages". In 1925, the Ford car was made and was named "Tin Lizzie" or "Flivver". The creation of a car had a huge impact on the Roaring Twenties because it gave more people an opportunity to go out and do things other than stay in the house. Some families thought that a car was much more important than pluming as a farm wife explains "You cant ride to town in a bathtub". By Fords mass production methods it made an immense market for his cars and spawned imitators. He was very serious about his company and had "Sociological Department" that set requirements for his workers to meet. If they didn't meet these requirements they would be fired easily. Overall, Fords inventions made an great creation to the Roaring Twenties by improving a lot of things people could now do.

Mass Production was a large scale manufacturing done with machinery and raised supply with reducing costs. By having more machinery this helped businesses increase the amount of time a product could be made and increased the workers wages. By getting the product done faster that made workers get better money from producing it quickly and shipping it out as soon as possible. This contributed to the Roaring Twenties because it created a faster and more productive way to produce products.

During the 1920s immigrations increased by a lot. Many of the immigrants coming to the United States wanted a better, more fulfilling life. However, Americans were not to fond of this. Once Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1921 that meant a three percent quota system based on foreigners in America. A lot of immigrants that did com here were harassed, abused, and blamed for causing more crime and unemployment. As immigrants were getting inspected to pass through to get to America women were "smacked around and shoved" being treated with no respect and rudely talked to as an inspector said "damn you stand straight" to a little Finish girl. Due to the Acts passed caused a lot of change and people to feel under attack of traditional society.

The Ku Klux Klan was a group that were against immigration and restricted it. They hated newly freed African Americans, Catholics, and Jews. They were "fighting for Americanism" and had no interest in caring for them at all. William J Simmons, a preacher was one of the men that found a new klan in Georgia, 1915. He later on began an advertisement with selling memberships. After that bout 4 million reached out towards the memberships and had a huge group. This group would hang blacks and set things on fire and go for any community or people they did not like. They were very violent and did not care for any of the families being harassed or murdered. However, later on in the 1920s it went down due to power struggles with leaders and memberships going down. Politicians backed out by he klan and were voted out of office.

short historical insight into 1920's organized crime

# data[].attributes.body
Crime was another big part of why people thought modern culture changed traditional society because in the 1920s it changed drastically. Al Capone, the most successful gangster of Chicago and most violent man made crime a huge deal. Some people looked up to Capone due to his smarts and how wealthy he was and good at smuggling illegal alcohol and engaging in illegal activities. Much of the police were on Capones pay roll which did not help the crime at all. There was also prostitution, a horrible "business" for women to dress up and sleep with men for money.

Prohibition was when all alcohol was banned and needed to be all gone and dumped. Some people opposed alcohol for religious reasons while others thought it "reduced unemployment, domestic violence and poverty". Even though a lot of alcohol was dumped and prohibited people still would drink and went to speakeasies, which were bars where you could purchase alcohol illegally. This however made over 540,000 arrests to due illegally drinking. In New York City, over 31000 speakeasies were selling liquor illegally. Canada was also smuggling liquor to the Caribbean. This caused people to think that traditional society and morality were under attack because before they never used to ban alcohol and make it illegal to drink. It was always a thing to do with friends and make fun of it and have a good time

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of the women started having much more freedom and having their own rights like voting. The rights for women to vote broke traditional rules and allowed women much more freedom. For example their fashion, education, occupations, and marriage had all changed. Women's fashion had changed to showing more skin and being less covered up. That's when Flappers came and danced in short sleeveless dresses with loads of makeup, smoking cigarettes, and drank prohibition alcohol at speakeasy bars. Education changed for women also because of them being able to study and go to college with majority studying for law, medicine, and literature. This allowed their family to make more money and changed consumer culture because now the women could help support their family. Sigmund Freud changed peoples ideas of relationships like with divorce and marriage. This was important because it showed women new things they could do with their marriage and relationship. Another important women was Margaret Sanger, a health nurse that said by improving living and making things easier with the help of birth control. The American Birth Control League in 1912 increased their product drastically and gave families (mostly middle families) much more easier living style. This changed traditional ideas because before the only thing women could do was stay at home, do what their husbands told them to and care for their children but now they had more rights and freedom.
