Roaring Twenties Word Search
This Roaring Twenties word search brings back the 1920s: flapper dresses with fringe and pearls, jazz in Harlem and at the Cotton Club, the speakeasy of Prohibition, the Model T, the first talkies and the crossword craze.
Prohibition began in January 1920 and banned making and selling alcohol, but not drinking it. Speakeasies opened behind unmarked doors, rumrunners brought liquor in from Canada and the Caribbean, and gangsters like Al Capone in Chicago grew rich supplying them. The same year the Nineteenth Amendment gave women the vote, and the flapper, with her bobbed hair and short skirt, became the picture of the decade.
Charles Lindbergh flew the Spirit of St Louis alone from New York to Paris in May 1927, a flight of about 33 and a half hours. Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs for the Yankees that same year. Newspapers had started printing crossword puzzles, and the first book of them, published in 1924, made a fortune for a new company called Simon and Schuster. The decade ended with the stock market crash of October 1929.
