Alabama in the 1920s• In a study- was among the worst states in the
country on nearly every measure of its citizens’ quality of life– Education underfunded & ineffective– Illiteracy rates were high– Prison system mismanaged & corrupt– Tax system unfair & inadequate– Public health was widely ignored
– State Services improved, the economy improved, the KKK returned, Alabamian contributions towards the Jazz Age, migration of African Americans out of Alabama (loss of culture in Alabama with African Americans leaving)
