S1 The 50’s - A Retrospective
March 7, 2019 - 1:00-3:00 pm
Description: The 1950s is a decade that can be viewed with nostalgia or disdain. Nostalgia for those carefree days of Rock n Roll and bobby sox. Disdain for the conformity the decade engendered. Historians use the word “boom” to describe a lot of things about the 1950s: the booming economy, the booming suburbs and most of all the so-called “baby boom.” What were the cultural and historical forces that shaped the 50s? Come take a trip down memory lane and relive just a little bit of your youth. Look back at this time’s popular entertainment, politics, science, and technology.
Purpose: Take a trip down memory lane to the 1950s
