How did conditions for minority groups change in the United States during the 1920s?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should have no problem identifying the rise of Ku Klux Klan and the National Origins Act as signs that some Americans feared the impact minority groups were having on the United States. Violence such as the Tulsa race riot or the fiery rhetoric of Marcus Garvey demonstrate that racial tension still permeated American society. Students should also examine the conditions of Mexican and Mexican Americans in the Southwest. But there are some promising trends that students should also identify. The Harlem Renaissance and the popularity of jazz brought African American culture more into the mainstream. Also, groups such as the NAACP, LULAC and the American Indian Defense Association gave minority groups a greater voice than in the past.
