One notable 1920s slang term is "bee's knees," which referred to something or someone that was considered the best or excellent. Today, it may still imply excellence, but it's often used more humorously or ironically. The phrase has largely fallen out of everyday use, making its original meaning less understood by modern audiences.
So how is your day going today
There was a day 23 years ago that people of that time called "today". But it wasn't the same "today" that you and I know. It was a different day. Today, it's always "today". But yesterday, today was tomorrow.
It's a contraction of two words, "to" and "morrow." The word "to" in this case originally meant "at" or "on," and "morrow" is an old word for "morning," so "to-morrow" originally meant "on the morrow" or "in the [next] morning," etc.
While the exact number of movie theaters built in the 1920s that still exist today is difficult to determine, many iconic venues from that era have survived, often repurposed for various uses. The late 1920s marked the peak of theater construction, with thousands built, but many have closed or been demolished over the decades. A handful of historic theaters, such as the Fox Theatre in Detroit and the Historic Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, have been preserved and restored as cultural landmarks. Overall, the survival of these theaters varies significantly by location and ongoing community support.

they had less laws and there class structure was different. They also didn't have computers like we do now and they had different technology for the classes. Also in the 1920s schools were segregated, which means black students had to go to a different school then did white students.
They didn't. It wasn't said. This is modern slang and really not a word with a meaning the way it is used today.
Graphic wise there has been a lot of changes that has happened
Absolutely. But the slang back then was quite different from the slang today. Throughout history, there has always been slang, as well as various metaphors and similes and other idiomatic expressions. You will even see in many of Shakespeare's plays that he uses puns, idioms, and slang.
