__**How did leisure activities in the 1920's unify America?:**__
===- Before there were leisure activities people got very bored after work and didn't communicate with many people outside of work. People went to work and then went home everyday and didn't know what was going on in the rest of the America or even there city. When leisure activities came out people got to communicate with other people at the movies or at sporting events. People from different cultures were brought together because people of the same race usually lived and worked together in the 1920's.===
