1920 EDITION

Consumerism  and  New  Products:    

 1) The  new  items  are  a  huge  cat’s  meow!  Who  knew  we  would  end  up  with  products  line  the  “Victor  Victorola!”  A  phonograph!  How  jake  is  that!  To  everyone  who  isn’t  excited  about  this,  you  slay  me  

2) Have  you  heard  of  all  these  beats?  Talk  about  having  a  radio!  It’s  so  nifty  and  while  not  everyone  needs  to  want  one.  I  think  being  about  to  have  one  is  earful.  

3) This  is  so  balled  up!  These  new  items  are  so  expensive!  A  radio?  A  phonograph?  Greeting  cards?  The  telephone?  I  don’t  have  enough  money  for  all  these.  

4) Thank  goodness  for  credit!  Or  I  wouldn’t  be  able  to  have  all  these  items.  Don’t  know  from  nothing  why  people  don’t  get  these!  Level  with  me,  everyone  wants  them.  

Labor  Unions    

 1) This  is  balled  up.  Why  can’t  we  keep  the  war  labor  board  going  like  they  did  in  the  1918’s.  What  saps.  The  “American  plan”  is  not  the  cat’s  meow.  Labor  unions  are  nifty.  And  I  agree  with  them.  

2) We  need  to  bring  Labor  Unions  back,  for  all  those  saps  that  don’t  agree  then  beat  it.  Labor  unions  were  copacetic  2  years  before.  Why  aren’t  they  now?  Labor  unions  were  so  great,  they  had  the  AALD  for  a  reason.  

3) I’m  glad  that  Labor  Unions  went.  Everyone  just  beefs  about  it.  The  war  time  wage  standard  was  too  high.  I‘m  jake  with  them  having  destroyed  the  union  movement.  Earful  with  all  this.    

4) All  these  saps  don’t  seem  to  realize  that  labor  unions  only  worked  nifty  in  the  past  2  years  because  of  WWI.                        Ab-­‐so-­‐lute-­‐ly  the  war  and  labor  unions  went  great  together.  But  they  went  away.  Leave  it  that  way.

Prohibition  Editorial    Most  middle  class  white  women  begin  starting  social  reform  

groups  for  the  prohibition  of  alcohol  because  they  believe  it  is  tearing  apart  their  family.  They  also  believe  that  it  is  causing  them  to  have  financial  problems  and  become  more  violent  towards  their  family.  

 Most  states  agreed  with  this  ban  on  alcoholic  drinks  because  they  

see  the  effect  that  it  can  have  on  people  in  their  lives.  But  this  also  caused  people  to  purchase  alcohol  illegally  from  private  shops  or  people  bought  it  with  a  prescription  and  used  it  illegally.  Some  people  even  made  the  alcohol  in  their  own  home,  which  also  became  popular       Some  people  believe  there  shouldn’t  be  prohibition  because  of  the  amount  of  alcohol  that  sells  and  how  much  of  a  demand  it  is.  People  don’t  see  the  effect  that  it  has  on  families  and  what  it  can  cause  some  people  to  do.  With  prohibition  there  are  no  accidents  that  occur  because  of  drunk  driving  which  is  one  of  the  main  causes  of  death.  But  also  there  are  the  downs,  like  people  getting  alcohol  illegally  or  getting  it  prescribed  to  them  because  they  want  a  drink,  but  they  use  it  for  other  purposes.       But  overall  for  the  timeframe  that  prohibition  was  set  in  I  think  it  was  put  to  good  use  to  show  people  the  effects  with  and  without  alcohol.  Also  I  think  that  it  could  have  helped  more  people  to  realize  the  effects  of  their  drinking  and  that  they  might  need  to  cool  down  on  it.  But  either  way  with  or  without  the  law  there  were  still  problems  like  selling  alcohol  in  bars  and  private  places,  which  were  not  found.  

Evolution Editorial Evolution isn’t such a bad thing, now is it? Some people are questioning this because of a former teacher being said to have been teaching evolution to children in school. The teacher, John T. Scopes, is being trailed in July. With it being said that he shouldn’t have been teaching evolution with the passing of statute in March in Tennessee stating that it was prohibited to teach in public schools the theories contrary to accepted interpretation of the biblical account of human creation. Now I’ve never been one to judge about whether we came to be human and were made from the events that happened because of evolution. Or whether the almighty being, God, came to earth and created Adam and Eve and all that we have and have come to known. It’s a very sensitive topic. Since it involves religion, which can impact how a person lives their life. Evolution has come to be an explanation for how we human being came to earth. It is said that evolution likely began in the late Cretaceous, about 85 million year ago, by genetic studies and no later than the Paleocene by the fossil record from 55 million years ago. Apparently evolution goes to say that the family Hominidae, or the great apes, diverged around 15-20 million years ago. Later the gorilla and chimpanzee diverged from the lineage leading to the genus Homo. It also lastly states that, us, human today, came from the species Australopithecines some 2.3 to 2.4 million years ago in Africa. That’s a lot to take in. Especially when Christians have been saying that their God has always been here. That he created the earth and the sea and all the animals we see today. That he created Adam and Eve, which was the beginning of us humans. If you look at evolution compared to religious belief of Christians, there is a huge different. One is very scientific and one is very religious and followed with belief. Is that why this trial is happening? Because people are worried about the beliefs of their child. And whether they are going to be changed by the public teaching of evolution in schools? With such heavy beliefs involved in evolution and whether we choose to believe that’s how we came to be, this is a huge case. Many would say they are glad its such an important case. Many people are even coming to Tennessee to see how this case panes out. To see what happens,. John T. Scopes may have thought teaching Evolution wasn’t too big of a deal yet many people seem to think so. I don’t see the problem in look at both the scientific reasoning and the religious reasoning of how we came to be. But its easy to see why everyone is taking this so seriously.

Two  More  Blacks  Found  Lynched      

       Last  night  around  3:00  am  three  white  men  jumped  a  black  man  and  his  grandson  while  walking  home  from  a  neighbors  house  and  lynched  them  in  their  front  yard.            This  morning  another  black  man,  Jarod  Simons,  and  his  grandson,  Gregory  Simons,  were  found  hanging  from  the  tree  in  their  front  yard.  The  police  say  that  the  three  white  men  who  jumped  the  old  man  and  the  young  boy  got  drunk  at  around  3:00  am  at  the  local  speak  easy  and  decided  to  go  lynching.  The  three  gentlemen  are  in  the  hands  of  the  police  but  it  is  said  that  they  will  not  be  facing  punishment.          Jarod  and  Gregory  Simons  were  at  their  neighbor’s  house  two  doors  down  playing  some  jazz  music  while  the  young  boys  played.  They  left  the  house  at  around  3:00  am  according  to  the  neighbor.  Shortly  after  the  two  were  brutally  beaten,  had  multiple  knife  wounds,  had  multiple  burn  marks,  multiple  broken  bones,  and  finally  were  hung  from  a  tree  to  end  the  brutal  lynching  of  two  black  people.          Jarod  Simons  was  68  years  old  and  was  a  talented  jazz  player  who  dedicated  his  life  to  help  other  black  men  and  women  from  all  the  harsh  treatment  of  white  people  they  endured  day  to  day.  Jarod  is  taking  care  of  his  four  grandkids  because  their  parents  unfortunately  had  to  endure  the  same  brutal  death  as  they  did.  Gregory  Simons  was  seven  years  old,  the  oldest  of  the  four  grandkids.  Police  say  he  did  not  suffer  as  much  as  his  grandfather  because  he  died  from  the  massive  beating  that  took  place  before  the  worst  of  the  horrible  things  the  three  white  men  did  to  them.        Jarod  and  Gregory  Simons  are  just  one  of  the  many  lynching’s  that  have  taken  place  just  these  past  couple  months.  Many  other  unfortunate  black  men  and  women  have  suffered  the  same  treatment  by  white  people.  Blacks  are  under  mass  amounts  of  racial  prejudices  every  day  due  to  white  people.  If  something  is  not  done  soon  groups  like  the  KKK  will  continue  to  treat  black  men  and  women  in  this  harsh  way  for  many  years  to  come.                    

The  Sacco  and  Vanzetti  Trial    

The  Sacco  and  Vanzetti  Trial  was  a  very  controversial  case  that  had  occurred  in  April  of  1920  because  two  men  were  called  guilty  to  something  people  know  he  didn’t  do.    

 Nikola  Sacco  and  his  friend  Bartolommeo  Vanzetti,  who  were  both  

Italian  immigrants  and  anarchists,  were  both  accused  of  the  murder  of  a  paymaster  and  a  guard  at  a  factory.  They  did  not  commit  this  crime  but  they  were  accused  because  of  what  they  believe.  

 The  case  was  weak  but  they  were  unable  to  secure  a  written  alibi,  

and  they  were  carrying  guns,  which  made  them  more  inclined  to  get  arrested.  During  the  case  the  Judge  called  them  both  anarchists  bastards,  and  they  were  both  sent  to  death  in  the  electric  chair  even  though  he  wasn’t  sure  who  really  did  the  murder.    

 They  took  6  years  to  try  to  get  a  fair  retrial,  and  they  were  put  to  

death  in  August  1927  even  without  getting  a  fair  say  or  getting  to  retrial  about  the  case.  The  people  figured  out  later  that  the  reason  they  were  really  arrested  wasn’t  because  they  were  at  the  scene  of  the  crime  with  guns,  but  because  they  subscribed  to  anarchist  newspapers.    

 The  judge  believed  that  anarchists,  and  foreigners  deserved  no  

consideration  or  the  right  to  trial  because  of  who  they  were  and  what  they  believed  in.  

 Even  many  years  later  Historians  still  argue  their  right  was  

violated  but  the  judge  of  the  case  never  admitted  that  he  was  wrong  to  what  he  did.  He  told  them  they  ought  to  hang,  and  not  because  they  were  at  the  scene  of  the  crime  but  because  he  doesn’t  like  anarchists  and  he  believes  they  should  not  have  the  right  to  trial  by  jury  or  have  a  fair  say.  

Jazz  Becoming  The  New  “Thing”    

     The  Harlem  Renaissance  and  jazz  music  is  spreading  quicker  and  quicker  as  the  black  population  spreads  more  and  more  through  the  nation.          The  “Negro  Nation”  is  spreading  more  and  more  through  out  the  nation  each  day.  So  because  of  this  jazz  music  has  become  a  big  hit  all  across  the  nation.  Negro  men  sit  out  on  the  street  and  just  play  away  the  sweet  sound  and  catchy  tune  of  jazz  music.          Ever  since  slaves  were  no  longer  slaves  there  has  been  a  mass  amount  of  the  Negro  population  moving  up  through  the  north.  People  are  calling  it  “The  Great  Migration”.  Most  of  the  Negro  population  has  and  is  moving  into  the  northern  major  cities  like,  Detroit,  New  York  City,  etc.,  so  they  can  find  work  and  support  their  families.          For  many  Negro  men  and  women  finding  work  is  hard  considering  that  no  one  wants  to  hire  them  and  also  considering  that  not  everyone  was  in  favor  of  freeing  slaves.  So  just  because  Negros  are  free,  it  doesn’t  mean  that  the  mistreatment  has  gone  with  it.          So  the  Harlem  Renaissance  has  it’s  good  and  it’s  bad  from  jazz  music  to  the  “Great  Migration”.  So  all  in  all  the  Harlem  Renaissance  is  full  of  interesting  events  and  we  are  in  very  interesting  times  now.

Women’s  Rights      

  There  was  a  woman  back  in  the  1920’s  who  shared  her  story  with  us  about  how  life  was  and  how  it  changed  for  her  because  of  the  19th  amendment.    

She  told  us  her  life  story,  and  how  she  became  independent  instead  of  having  to  have  someone  support  her.  Overall  women  were  tired  of  not  being  able  to  be  independent  in  their  lives  so  she  recalled  an  event  when  a  women’s  suffrage  movement  was  started  in  1848.      

She  said  it  was  a  movement  to  give  women  more  rights  than  they  had  before  because  they  were  unable  to  do  most  things  that  men  could  do.  She  said  finally  in  1920  the  right  for  women  to  vote  was  granted  and  that’s  when  things  started  to  get  better  for  her,  and  women  all  around.  Soon  she  told  the  story  on  how  she  was  able  to  do  anything  and  get  a  job  and  buy  her  own  car  and  she  was  on  her  own.      

She  told  us  how  finally  she  was  able  to  get  her  own  job  and  have  her  own  pocket  money  to  save  up  for  whatever  she  wanted  to  buy.  She  also  exclaimed  how  she  was  able  to  buy  her  own  car  and  how  she  felt  independent  and  like  she  was  a  stronger  woman  than  she  was  before.  Soon  she  told  about  how  there  were  woman  who  became  more  respected  and  admired  around  the  world.        

Soon  she  said  women  created  their  own  clothing  line  that  she  was  able  to  purchase  with  her  money  and  having  a  good  body  image  became  important  in  the  society  and  she  tried  to  keep  one.  This  was  the  story  about  how  a  woman  wanted  to  be  more  independent  and  was  successful  because  she  joined  the  movement  for  women’s  suffrage,  which  eventually  changed  how  women  were  viewed  in  the  societies  and  the  government.
