1923 – America One Hundred Years Ago
May 26, 2023 @ 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
The Roaring Twenties were going full blast, and jazz filled the air. We were past a World War and a pandemic. Stocks and hemlines were going up. Warner Brothers, King Tut’s tomb, and Old Yankee Stadium were opened. 1923 seemed like an idyllic year. But, below the surface, storm clouds were gathering. Hitler led the Nazi Party in a failed coup attempt in Germany. The President, Warren Harding, embroiled in scandals, died suddenly and mysteriously.
Join us as our time capsule lands in 1922. We will look at America as it looked 100 years ago. Among our topics:
√ Who were the famous people who were born and died in 1922? (We lost President Harding and Pancho Villa but gained Henry Kissinger and Peter Lawford!).
√ What were the most important inventions of 1923 (Water skis, anyone?) 
√ What were the most important news stories of 1923?
√ How much did everyday items cost?
√ What music, movies, and performers were popular?
All of this and so much more as you join us for a 1922 time capsule program!!!
