America in the Fifties 11pm ET / 9pm MT

In the 1950s, the birth of a new American pop culture, spurred by military and economic ascendancy, had worldwide repercussions. The cultural icons and trends of that contradictory age – the birth of rock n' roll and youth culture, the rise of suburbia, the growth of the power of TV, the genesis of the women's liberation movement – have had a lasting impact on modern life. Based on the best-selling book, The Fifties by David Halberstam, “America in the Fifties” tells the story of these tectonic shifts with dramatic portraits of the movers and the shakers of that time.
