You are about to enter the Roaring Twenties. "Winnie the Pooh" has entered the picture, as well as "The Velveteen Rabbit." Alcohol is prohibited, dresses are shorter, women can vote, and Babe Ruth is making baseball history. The Harlem Renaissance is emerging, Pablo Picasso is entering his Synthetic Cubist period, and John T. Scopes is challenging the Butler Law. Americans are moving from the simple life and being thrust into the age of technology with the invention of the radio, the rocket, and moving pictures. Some are intrigued, some are scared, but most are ready for the ride.

Explore the 1920's through its literature, events, and personalities.
