Ann Kuperberg, Tuesdays, 10 am to 12 noon

Sonoran Room: January 11, 18, 25, February 1, 8

The Roaring 20’s abandoned previous restrictive lifestyles for liberated, inventive and prosperous times. In this 5-week course, we will discuss the changes and their impact on politics, women voters, entertainment, new celebrities, in literature, music and sports.  People like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charlie Chaplin, Louis Armstrong, Babe Ruth and even Al Capone, will be highlighted.  The availability of automobiles, radio and more home inventions added to the atmosphere. There will be short DVD selections where appropriate and weekly handouts as well as class interaction.
