Radio, Jazz Music And the Emergence of a New Culture
One of the first radios made in the 1920s
Jazz music influenced all aspects of society: Jazz poetry, fashion, and industry. Jazz music also exacerbated the racial tensions in the post war period. The Federal Radio Commission was set up in 1926; the Radio Act of 1927 organized the Federal Radio Commission. The public, the government, and emerging radio corporations viewed radio as a means of public service. Crystal radios were among the first radios to be used and manufactured.
