Grab a cocktail, grab your computer, and belly up to the “bar” as the Western Reserve Historical Society dives into the fascinating world of 1920s Cleveland with its FREE program, Virtual History on Tap | 1920s Cleveland.
Like many major U.S. cities, Cleveland certainly had its share of illegal liquor and “mob” activity during Prohibition and it also saw changes in women’s fashion and challenges to what was considered proper behavior. But it was much more than that – the 1920s certainly “roared” with energy, but not just in the clichés of that era.
The program covers the following topics:
- Drinking at Home during Prohibition
- Drinking at a Speakeasy
- Anti-Saloon League & Temperance
- Ida B. Wells
- The Great Migration
- Immigration & Alcohol
- Cleveland’s Mob Connection
- The Thompson Prototype
