It was the start of “The Roaring 20‘s” and America was ready for a change. African Americans, known for their jazz music, began coming together at this time to express their newly found freedom through their passion for music. It was a huge hit, not only in Harlem, but nation wide as well. They were able to perform at nightclubs, ballrooms, and theaters to show their love for music and their many talents. These cool blue, jazz bands were mostly made up of brass instruments. They instantly became a popular entertainment for all races, including whites. This was their chance to prove to the rest of the country that they are equal and bring just as much to America as any other race.
