The prohibition movement helped start the Jazz era. During this time African Americans started to form jazz bands and play instruments like the trumpet, saxophone, and piano. Whites started to listen to them play and enjoyed them which gave African Americans more freedom from what they originally had. The prohibition movement helped African Americans to get more rights and be accepted more into society.
