Which is an example of the relationship between the arts and social change during the 1920s?

Question

A. • African Americans were encouraged to buy houses in previously all-white neighborhoods and attend neighborhood schools.
B. • The Great Migration left the South with a severe lack of low-wage workers and many companies went out of business as a result.
C. • White audiences enjoyed jazz as played by African American musicians in Harlem clubs such as the Cotton Club.
D. • Writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald used the term "Jazz Age" to celebrate the dialects of poor workers in the South.

Answer 1

C. • White audiences enjoyed jazz as played by African American musicians in Harlem clubs such as the Cotton Club.

This option illustrates the relationship between the arts and social change during the 1920s, specifically highlighting how the jazz music culture created by African American musicians began to gain popularity among wider audiences, including white Americans. This cultural exchange helped to challenge racial barriers and promoted greater social interactions, albeit in a segregated context.
