Radio In November 1920, radio station KDKA started broadcasting in Pittsburg, and it changed America forever. Families would gather around the radio to listen to baseball games, news reports, and favorite programs. In 1922, WSB (reportedly stood for Welcome South Brother) went on air in Atlanta.

Movies First Talking Motion Picture = The Jazz Singer with Al Jolson First Talking Cartoon = Steamboat Willie with Mickey Mouse

Boll Weevil For many Georgians, the twenties were not a time of abundance. Boll Weevil = small, grayish, long- snouted beetle was destroying the primary source of income for many Georgia farmers – COTTON. Came from Mexico, moved through Texas, and appeared in Georgia in 1915.

Drought In 1924, Georgia farmers were hit with another natural disaster – a major drought. Drought and overuse of land from cotton production ruined most of Georgia’s crops. Number of working farms fell from 310,132 t0 249,095. When farms failed, banks that had loaned the farmers money took huge losses. Many farm-related businesses closed. Georgia was in a deep depression.

The Ku Klux Klan Great increase In power Anti-black Anti-immigrant Anti-women’s suffrage Anti-bootleggers Anti-Semitic Anti-Catholic

Great Migration Many black farmers and poor whites moved to northern industrial cities such as Chicago and Detroit hoping to find work in factories and assembly plants. Lasted until the 1960s. Many northern companies actively recruited African Americans to jobs.
