What do you want to learn about next?Today we sit down with Dr. Jeff Cole, a humanities/history professor at Portage Learning and Geneva College. We've all heard of the roaring 20's, but maybe they weren't all that roaring after all. In this episode, we discuss the impact immigration, Henry Ford, World War 1, and other weird history had on the human experience during the 20's. History is meant to be remembered, so we can learn from the past and embrace the change.-------------------Between Tides is hosted by https://portagelearning.edu/.
