The Harlem Renaissance

From flappers and speakeasies to the Harlem Renaissance and The Great Gatsby, the Roaring Twenties has long been a common trope in popular American memory. Florida went through its own version with the land boom and the arrival of tin-can tourists. But there was an “other Florida” that was more in line with the rest of the Deep South than the pleasures of South Florida. After two disastrous hurricanes and the crash of the land boom, those two Floridas began to share similar concerns and fears as Florida suddenly found itself in the depths of the Great Depression.
