Police pour out alcohol in the 1920s during Prohibition

In 1920, the U.S. entered a period during which the manufacture, sale and transport of intoxicating beverages was prohibited. As it turned out, the U.S. also entered a period of lawlessness and corruption, unequaled in its history.

Many Prohibition supporters felt the passage of the 18th Amendment would bring about law and order and restore the family. However, numerous unintended consequences make this period one of the most fascinating misadventures of all time.

Learn much more about it during this history presentation at Creekside Community Center.
