Listen "The United States in The 1950s"
Episode Synopsis
Our 1950's podcast has a bit of everything. The 1950s can be called the decade of conformity. There is tremendous growth. Population is BOOMING, hence the term "Baby Boomers" came into vogue.
The roles of women changed, going from aspirations of Rosie the Riviter in the work force to stay at home mother and homemaker. Television, movies, and other media, all showcased the idealized images of what family life should be.
Pop culture gave us rock n roll, "The King", Chuck Berry, and others.
Toys like The Barbie Doll, Mr Potato Head, and PlayDoh became very popular.
President Eisenhower championed projects related to infrastructure. The suburbs were born, and roads, highways, bridges, and tunnel projects were all undertaken.
This episode has it all, along with a little fun at the end.
There is always more to learn!
