Bootleggers flood in with illegal booze, flappers dance to jazz, and workers build suburban bungalows while Florida’s Jim Crow system is violently enforced and a charismatic Christian religious revival sweeps the state — It’s the 1920s in Florida.

Look back at the happenings that catapulted Florida into the modern era by joining the Tampa Bay History Center’s Brad Massey and Rodney Kite-Powell for Florida Conversations: Florida in the 1920s on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m.
