In the 1920's pop culture changed dramatically. Jazz music took off with artist like Louis Armstrong, Eddie Lang, and others. Baseball also became very popular and Babe Ruth contributed to it becoming America's favorite pass time. All of this owes thanks to the radio. On August 27, 1920 8MK (WWJ) in Detroit and (KDKA 1020 AM) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania became Americas first 2 commercial radio stations. They covered news like election results and then evolved to cover music, sports, and other media. This swept the nation and everyone was listening to the radio. In the 1927 the first part-talking film, The Jazz Singer, was released starring Al Jolson (dancer, singer, and actor), who was billed in 1925 as the "World's Greatest
Entertainer". Unfortunately pop culture couldn't escape the problems of society blacks couldn't play in the MLB (having to form the  Negro National League),  stars like Al Jolson used black face, many white American refused to listen to music by blacks, and early films such as The Birth of the Nation glorified the KKK.

Crime in the 1920's changed drastically and prohibition played a large role. While Prohibition was successful in reducing the amount of liquor consumed, it stimulated the proliferation of rampant underground, organized and widespread criminal activity.With jobs being limited and America being in a economic depression selling alcohol illegally was a easy yet dangerous way to make money. This drove gangsters and organized criminal groups to provide alcohol. Alphonse Gabriel Capone was an American mobster, crime boss, and businessman who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era. He had a seven-year reign as a crime boss

in the Chicago area. He capitalized on prohibition and organized the murder of many rival gang members.

The United States was led by three Republican Presidents during the 1920's, namely Warren Harding , Calvin Coolidge,  and Herbert Hoover. These presidents supported the policy that government should leave the economy alone; they adopted a " Laissez Faire " ( free market ) policy which meant they believed that big businesses should/would be free to expand without being held back by the government. While they all agreed on the free market policy , some had other beliefs in addition like Warren Harding who imposed the Fordney-Mccumber tariff act due to his policy of " protectionism" - encouraging Americans to buy american goods only.  Also Herbert Hoover believed in " rugged Individualism" , saying the people should not depend on the government for help; they should solve their own problems.
