If you were around a hundred years ago in 1924, you might have had a chance to see events like the Winter Olympics in France followed by Summer Olympics in Paris. You could have enjoyed four new amusement parks that opened that year in the United States and followed up by visiting several museum openings. Or if you were in New York, you could have watched the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
There were at least 87 international events whose repercussions still reverberate today. For example, you would learn that the Immigration Act of 1924 was inspired by the Eugenics Movement and was signed two days after Calvin Coolidge signed the National Origins Quota Act. Clarence Darrow defended Leopold and Loeb. Edwin Hubble announced the existence of other galactic systems and the Ottoman Empire ended.
