Sin and Syncopation
In connection with Gatsby's wild parties, we looked at white appropriation of black culture in the Twenties.
We read an article about the evils of jazz from the August, 1921, edition of Ladies' Home Journal, watched a Betty Boop cartoon featuring Louis Armstrong as a crazy African barbarian, and read "Note on the Commercial Theatre" by Langston Hughes.
