All about the jazz age:
The Jazz Age or 'Roaring Twenties' was a period of time that America went through a dramatic social and entertainment change. At this time, which occurred in the 1920's, African American culture was becoming very popular around the country. Things such as Jazz music, ball room dancing, rebellion, and fashion all changed very quickly. During this time pleasure was the goal, and money was not a problem. People during this time had a sudden rise in money and free time and could buy and do things they only dreamed about doing. Everyone had more time and money to entertain themselves especially with music such as jazz.
