Jazz and Sports

In the 1920's America was humming as a country. What I mean by that is that the economy was great and the people were very happy. This is reflected by the entertainment at this time. You may ask what does that mean? That means that the mood was very happy and upright. The forms of entertainment were mainly music and sports. Sports very popular at this time were Boxing and Baseball. With the help of advances in media great sports players became national icons. Great sports players include baseball players Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb and Boxer like Bobby Jones or Jack Dempsey. The most popular form of music was by far Jazz. The Harlem Renaissance a movement that changed up African-American culture took place at this time which brought a form of music that blended traditional European music with African roots called Jazz. Jazz was very  upbeat and enjoyable by many people in that time period. Jazz and Sports became very popular in the 1920's.
