The Actual Voices, Events, and Music of the People Who Lived It

The decade began with Harry Truman in office, Milton Berle was Mr. Television, the Weavers were signing Goodnight Irene, and moviegoers were watching Sunset Boulevard. It was the decade of the Silent Generation, a time of suburbia and an unprecedented Baby Boom. Despite McCarthyism and nuclear concerns, the 50's were marked by a feeling of optimism, prosperity, and material comfort. Television came of age, the first McDonald's opened and Elvis was the undisputed King.
