The Twenties: Social Change

Description

The ‘20s were a time of rapid change in the United States. Modernist
values changed views of women and minorities. The economy grew
rapidly after World War I with radio, movies, and automobiles leading
the way. Rapid change also spawned a backlash among those who
objected to new ideas or felt threatened by them.
Presenter: Jim Williams has taught many ILR courses on American and
local history. He recently published Oro Valley: The First Fifty Years.
3 Wednesdays: October 16, 23 and 30 at 9:00 a.m. in the Activity
