In the 1920s, known as the Roaring Twenties, America saw a liberalization in manners and morals. This can be seen in the flapper culture, the explosion of jazz music, and the proliferation of speakeasies during Prohibition. Yet, it was also a more conservative time that brought about societal clashes evident in events like the Scopes trial, which underscored the struggle between modernism and traditional values. The Harlem Renaissance was a significant cultural movement representing the voices and experiences of African Americans, previously underrepresented in American history narratives and textbooks.
