What is emerging in the 1960s?Current LectureI. 1950sWhat we see from the 1950s is roots of what we see today (suburbs, housing developments, etc.) The creation of the Homeowners Load Corporation during the Great Depression made it easier for people to pay for homes. The United States believed that the best and easiest way to find happiness and satisfaction and to protect against communism is to buy a new home and move to the suburbs. If we look deeper, the events that occurred in the 1960s will not seem like much of a surprise. African Americans weren’t allowed to purchase homes in the same areas as whites. Most black women had to work to provide for their families and had to cook and clean for their families on top of their jobs. Race serves as one way were ideals (family, gender, household) were not accessible. There was a lot of anxiety, tension, and conflict during this time. There was also a lot of societal and cultural pressure to maintain the ideal nuclear family. II. 1950s Family Date VideoThis video showed the gender expectations and expectations of family life during the 1950s. It also showed the ideal expectations of what the United States wanted people to do. It shows assumptions about who does what within the family and household.
