None of us OLLI folk are old enough to remember the 1920s, but our parents likely could have told us a lot. Do you remember these names — Ethel Waters, Fannie Brice, Al Jolson, Bessie Smith, Rudy Vallee and Mae West? If not, you’ll hear about them and others in class. We’ll explore the music, movies and culture of that “roaring” decade. By way of lecture, discussion, lots of videos and live music we’ll discover what it was like to have lived back then. We might even do the Charleston.
Repeat in-person course. Format includes lecture, discussion, and watching film.
