First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Get a clear look back at the forgotten decade of the 1920s through this rare collection of carefully colorized photos.
When we think of the 1920s in America, we mostly remember it as, 'The Roaring Twenties,' or 'The Jazz Age.' And while the decade is definitely synonymous with the Prohibition era, there was so much else going on around the country that we don't often think about.
The 1920s was the decade when more Americans moved to cities than ever before; the decade when automobile mass production made cars available to the masses; the decade when consumer radio took over the airwaves; and the decade when women finally earned the right to vote.
In this week's video, I've combed through hundreds of sources to find the most interesting images I could find of this decade that reshaped America. I then spent hours carefully colorizing these pictures as best as I could achieve - (no more purples when the color should be blue or black!)
If you're a regular viewer of The History Lounge - Welcome Back! I'm glad you're here.
If you're just finding my channel for the first time, I invite you to take some time to look around and see what other interesting historical topics that have been covered here.
Please enjoy this look back into the 1920s!

Love going down memory lane even though I have no memory of any of this since I wasn't born yet. Such a better time for society. I'm sure it had its challenges, but ppl truly cared about one another. Today, they just as soon step on you than help you up off the ground.
