1921

Today, our multimedia time capsule takes us all the way back to 1921. World War One was over, the Republicans regained control of the government, and America was recovering from the flu pandemic. So what was American life like 100 years ago? In this brand new addition to our popular “History and Perspective” Series, we will look at life in America in 1921.

This fascinating presentation will explore many fascinating facets of 1921. We will examine the top news stories of the year and learn what everyday items cost. You will be amazed as you hear about: the famous people who were born and died that year, the most popular movies and sports stars of the time. What was invented in 1921, and what can we learn from that tumultuous year? In many ways, 1921 was a year similar to 2021. It was a year of transition and hope and the desire to return to traditional, normal patterns of life, politics, community, and optimism. If this sounds intriguing, it’s because 1921 was a fascinating year! Join us!
