A Look Back at 1926

Speaker Evan Weiner will transport us back in time and discuss what was going on 100 years ago in 1926. It’s the Jazz Age and speakeasies are the rage as Americans want alcohol. The American economy is humming for the wealthy class but not so much for lower- and middle-class workers. There is a General Strike in the United Kingdom, Henry Ford introduces the 40-hour work week. Gertrude Ederle swims the English Channel. A new American radio network starts, NBC, the first rocket is launched. Willie the Pooh and Mary Poppins make their first appearances.
