The 1920s was the first decade to have a nickname: “Roaring 20s" or "Jazz Age." It was a decade of prosperity and dissipation, and of jazz bands, bootleggers, raccoon coats, bathtub gin, flappers, flagpole sitters, bootleggers, gangsters, the underground economy of spirts, dancing, and flappers. It was mainly women who ran the Jump Joints” in our rural southeastern community. These business women defied North Carolina state law of segregation by race; selling homemade spirits, beer, wine, and gambling. There was no charge for the dancing. The women were free-market capitalist who ran an underground economy that defied segregation laws. These business women were motivated to take care of their family financially and interested in providing an environment for a good time for those willing to pay. These “Bootlegging Capitalist” woman, were the early leaders of racial tolerance, social economic class, and gender equality. It’s not surprising the democrats and republicans lagged behind in these area for decades. They focused their financial resources on promoting lawsoutlawing the sell of liquor, interracial marriage, and integrated public education and business.
