This event has passed.
For 2022 Black History Month Information and Tickets
_______________________________________________________________________
It was the 1920s, the Jazz Age. There were wild parties! And while Al Capone was busy unleashing violence upon Chicago, African Americans in Bible Belt Georgia were fighting racial, social, and political battles, thus transforming America in unexpected ways.
Join the DeKalb History Center as we learn about the Jazz Age in the South from an African American perspective. This informative and entertaining program will include dynamic presentations, the award-winning Georgia State University Jazz Band, and an original documentary detailing this fascinating decade. The Historic DeKalb Courthouse will be transformed musically and visually into a speakeasy. Feel free to wear something that embodies the Roaring Twenties!
2020 Historian Sponsors:
Judge Ronald B. Ramsey, Sr.
Steve Henson, State Senate District 41
Mindy Pillow for DeKalb County Superior Court Judge
