This is the final weekend of an exhibit at the University of Texas in Austin about the social and cultural changes that took place in America in the 1920s and their impact on the literature, music and art of the time. Many of those changes are with us still. We hear from Danielle Sigler, an American Studies scholar at the Harry Ransom Center, where the exhibit is housed.
