This movement was to prove that African American culture is just as important and valid. The Great Migration contributed to the renaissance, as many African Americans moved north in order to work. Langston Hughes, Marcus Garvey, and Duke Ellington were several of many important influences during the Renaissance. The Renaissance was important because it inspired blacks to take pride in their culture and to take civil rights for themselves. ]]> 2019-03-10 01:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/96th9sevv8wc/wish/339621266 3791011 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/96th9sevv8wc/wish/339623110 Flappers were women in the 20's that went against stereotypes. Women were expected to dress and act modestly, to be seen and not heard. In the 20's that changed when women started wearing shorter dresses, smoking, drinking, and partying alongside men. They also practiced the same sexual freedom that men had. After men left for the war, women joined the workforce and believed that women should have equal rights since they are able to work men's jobs. After the passage of the 19th Amendment, the number of flappers grew. Flappers were important because it allowed women to gain freedom previously unheard or practiced before.]]> 2019-03-10 02:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/96th9sevv8wc/wish/339623110 3791011 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/96th9sevv8wc/wish/339623778 Also known as the "monkey trial" the Scopes Trial took place in Dayton, Tennessee in 1925. John Scopes was a teacher who had taught the theory of evolution. Teaching the theory had been outlawed by the Butler Act. The Act had been supported by many because the theory of evolution had went against the bible. As a small town, Dayton remained very religious and disliked Scopes who had "threatened" their children with the teaching. Dayton was found guilty and found $100. The trial was important because it brought forth the idea that religion and science were supposed to be separate and it challenged religion and showed many that science is important to life. ]]> 2019-03-10 02:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/96th9sevv8wc/wish/339623778 3791011 https://padlet.com/ModestoCitySchools/96th9sevv8wc/wish/339624476 The Cotton Club is located in Harlem New York and was a hot-spot during the Harlem Renaissance.
