Week 8 Reflection

In the 1920 the modern was good it had great economic growth . They had great migration of African American to cities in the north. The technology grew in mass production. The automobile was the key leader in mass production. The United States produces half of the worlds manufactured goods.  I believe this was an era of progress because great things happen. From creating more jobs, creating new goods. Also many businesses thrived. Where women liberated yes and no. I say that because yes things changed they got to open up and wear more but they wasn’t necessarily free to wear what they want. There was still rule of sort you could show skin but only so much. So I would say yes and no. Did the consumerism lead to more freedom I would say no just because things changed for the good doesn’t mean it changed for everybody. The African Americans still had to go through it the struggle, the unfairness but some hood things did come out of it. The experience for African Americans was good and bad. Lets also talked about my favorite part of the 20s The Harlem Renaissance. IT was a golden age for African American artists, writers and musicians. It gave these artists pride in and control over how the black experience was represented in American culture and set the stage for the civil rights movement. The Harlem Renaissance was the development of the Harlem neighborhood in New York City as a black cultural mecca in the early 20th Century and the subsequent social and artistic explosion that resulted. Lasting roughly from the 1910s through the mid-1930s. Im actually from New York so hearing about this growing learning about it always been my thing. It was a lot of good and bad that came out of the 1920 but it was a very interesting time ..
