    The Jazz Age 1921–1929 Why It Matters The 1920s was an era of rapid change and clashing values. Many Americans believed society was losing its traditional values, and they took action to preserve these values. Other Americans embraced new values associated with a freer lifestyle and the pursuit of individual goals. Writers and artists pursued distinctively American themes, and the Harlem Renaissance gave African Americans new pride. The Impact Today The 1920s left permanent legacies to American culture. • National celebrities in sports and film emerged. • Jazz music became part of American culture. • F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway wrote classics of American literature. The American Republic Since 1877 Video The Chapter 15 video, “The Harlem Renaissance,” focuses on Harlem’s lively arts and music scene and the movement’s contributions to American culture. 1915 • New Ku Klux Klan founded 1921 1922 • Emergency Quota • Antilynching bill Act passed, limiting passes in House immigration 1920 • Marcus Garvey leads L Wilson march through Harlem Harding 1913–1921 L L 1921–1923 L 1915 1920 M M M 1921 • Ireland becomes an 1917 independent country • British government’s Balfour 1922 Declaration supports national home • Mussolini and Fascists for Jewish people in Palestine take power in Italy 480 This photograph of jazz musicians captures the boisterous spirit of the 1920s. 1925 • Scopes trial begins • F.
