We want to look at and explore the effects of Gangsters, G-men and Gun Molls during the 1920's and 1930's. These two decades took decadence to a new level. It was a perfect storm of demon alcohol being banned, corrupt government officials, and a public that was thirsty to first have fun in the 20's Jazz age and then escape the misery of the Great Depression. These two decades changed everything about Chicago and the US. Anybody who has an interest in the era, or a relative who stirred bathtub gin or who was one of the good guys with a star or badge, join up. If you are a professor or teacher with an interest or course that can shed some light, join. If you want to get out in walk in the footsteps of Al Capone or Eliot Ness, join. Bring your pictures, slides, books or old newspaper clippings. Gangsters, G-men and Gun Molls can be fun and educational!
