It took its name, short for Arts Décoratifs, from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes held in Paris in 1925.

During the time, it was known as the "New Negro Movement," named after the 1925 anthology by Alain Locke. The Movement also included the new African-American cultural expressions across the urban areas in the Northeast and Midwest United States affected by the African-American Great Migration, of which Harlem was the largest. The Harlem Renaissance was considered to be a rebirth of African-American arts.

During its early years, the NAACP focused on legal strategies designed to confront the critical civil rights issues of the day. They called for federal anti-lynching laws and coordinated a series of challenges to state-sponsored segregation in public schools, an effort that led to the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared the doctrine of “separate but equal” to be unconstitutional. Though other civil rights groups emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, the NAACP retained a prominent role within the movement, co-organizing the 1963 March on Washington, and successfully lobbying for legislation that resulted in the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Act.]]> 2016-11-30 02:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kyd1170859238/gseh2ftttiz5/wish/140702841 Jazz kyd1170859238 https://padlet.com/kyd1170859238/gseh2ftttiz5/wish/140702849 Jazz is a music genre that originated from African American communities of New Orleans in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

All kinds of new machinery and appliances sparked the interest of the consumer, from cars to radios and from washing machines to dishwashers, and many Americans wanted them all. Most, however, were unable to afford everything they wanted, so the installment plan became a popular solution. All the buyer had to do was put down some money and pay monthly payments until the financial obligation was met.

The plan seemed to be a win-win situation for all. Manufacturers kept producing, stores kept selling and people got to live better than they ever imagined. No longer did the majority of people pay cash for all they bought. Credit became popular, and consumer debt rose more than 100 percent during the decade of the 1920s. By the end of the decade, more than 50 percent of cars were purchased on credit. When the stock market crashed in 1929, many consumers were drowning in debt.

The Amendment was the first to set a time delay before it would take effect following ratification, and the first to set a time limit for its ratification by the states.
