"What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith
in their country by working to improve it."
Hubert H. Humphrey
Modern
America
Roaring 20s
"Roaring Twenties is a phrase used to
describe the 1920s, principally in
North America, that emphasizes the period's
social,
artistic, and cultural dynamism. 'Normalcy'
returned to
politics in the wake of
World War I,
jazz
music blossomed, the
flapper redefined
modern womanhood,
Art Deco peaked, and
finally the
Wall Street Crash of 1929 served
to punctuate the
end of the era, as
The Great Depression set in. The
era was
further
distinguished by several inventions and discoveries
of
far-reaching importance, unprecedented industrial growth
and accelerated consumer demand and aspirations, and
significant
changes in
lifestyle." Source:
