The decade that brought us jazz, flappers, and the crossword puzzle also brought us gangsters, prohibition, and presidential scandals and tragedy. 

The average American does not know how our modern society was affected by the great changes to America in the Roaring 20s. 

We welcome back the bowtied professor, Jason Scappaticci, to talk with us about the flapper decade!
