The 1920s, known as the Jazz Age, marked a significant shift in American culture following World War I. This era was characterized by unique fads such as raccoon coats, Charleston dancing, and the rise of radio, films, and newspapers that spread new ideas. While many young Americans embraced these trends, the older generation was often shocked, eventually leading to broader acceptance. Jazz music became a unifying sound for both white Americans and Europeans, helping to challenge the barriers of racism. The Harlem Renaissance further celebrated African American culture through art, literature, and music.
