Advanced American History

To resume our study of the Cold War after last week's exhibitions, we will begin by viewing the video The Century: Happy Daze- 1953-60.  This documentary chronicles life in the fifties, from the development of television and teen culture, to rock and roll and a beginning to the challenges to the conformity of the age that would lead to the turbulent sixties.  All of these events were constantly under the dark shadow of the Cold War, and the film addresses events like the launching of Sputnik and the Kitchen Debates.

Reminder:  Bring NHD permission slips ASAP!
