Historian to discuss culture of the 1950s
Historian Jim Gibbons will take viewers back to the age of innocence and Eisenhower at 6:30 p.m. Monday, April 27, online via Zoom. The 1950s was the decade of rock 'n' roll, postwar boom, the Korean War and civil rights. From the booming economy to the baby boom, America was starting to prosper after the war. Civil rights moved forward from the Supreme Court's landmark decision in "Brown vs. Board of Education" in 1954 to activist Rosa Parks making her name in America's history. Gibbons will discuss the American values and conservative culture of peace, progress, and prosperity in the 1950s.
