"Overview:
Dust off those saddle shoes, take that poodle skirt out of the trunk and get ready to stroll down memory lane.
Living History the 1950s takes a unique look at life in the Lehigh Valley during this incredibly diverse decade… through the eyes of those who saw it all. From a nostalgic recollection of what made Hess’s Department Store the place to shop in style, to heart wrenching memories of life and death in the Forgotten War, Living History is a documentary with a personal touch.
Ever wonder what an iron lung sounded like? You’ll hear from a nurse who worked on a polio ward at a local hospital.And you’ll meet a woman who battled this crippling disease and won. You’ll hear the roar o the crowd on Thanksgiving Day when high school football was the name of the game. And you’ll listen to the new song school children learned before they ducked under their desks and covered their heads. And you’ll see the flood waters rise in Easton in 1955.
Living History takes us back to a prosperous time when local industries flourished, and for many, the American Dream was achievable. From Bethlehem Steel to Mack Trucks and Western Electric it was the golden age of the industrial worker. But through the eyes of one woman, Living History poignantly reminds us of a troubling time when segregation reared its ugly head here in the Lehigh Valley.
We’ll hear how a radio announcer in the Lehigh Valley launched the first open mike call-in show in the country; how television entered our living rooms and gave us pictures as well as sound. Do you remember your first television set?
And who can forget the music. We’ll shake, rattle and roll at Castle Garden when Annette, Paul, and Fabian were there. We’ll meet those who rocked and rolled to anew sound and a new beat; when American Bandstand gave us the top tunes and all the new dances."
I grew up in this era, those were times when you did not need to lock your doors, even while out shopping.
People helped raise the neighbor's children, went to Sunday school and mid-day adult services with preaching and the choir.
In 1960's my parents were middle school teachers. They were able to buy a new house, 2 cars, a waterfront lot, and a 25 foot sailboat. Purchasing power peaked in the mid 60's.
@@Cryo837 Something else happened around that time. We started using a purely fiat monetary system. Our money was no longer backed, or even quasi-backed, by gold. The Fed just started printing dollars (at interest so it's impossible to repay) at every request made by our government leaders.
Really, it was the true beginning to the fall of our great nation, of which we appear to currently be in the final act of. It's very sad.

Those were the days 🤓
We need to fix wealth inequality to restore the working middle class. It's okay to be rich. It's okay to make 10 times what your median employee makes. It's not okay to make 100 or 1000 times that amount. It's a perversion of capitalism and much of that corporate prosperity should have gone to employee wages and into the economy via their purchasing power.
We all prospered that time was called “ THE. BOOM. DAYS OF THE SIXTIES”
@@nonconsensualopinion.ABSOLUFUTY
Muscle cars also came out in the 60's
I grew up in the 40's and 50's, graduating from High School in 1956. Not a day passes that I don't wish to go back to that amazing era. Thanks for sharing this great show. 👍😃❤
You bet, they were the best times ever for America and for Americans. I'm looking for a time machine, myself.
Can you tell me more about the 1950s? Thank you.

A great reflection of the seemingly not so distant past, it was a great time in which to experience childhood, doctor still came to the house in an emergency. Lets count ourselves blessed, those of us who experienced it.
I grew up in the 50s and the 60s There will never be music like that again A time gone by
William George Sr. Agree about the music. Pure talent
William George Sr. Wonderful music!!! I still listen to it today. Nothing else can take its place!! The most talented gifted artist ever.
@Willy G I'll bet people from the 20's think Frank Sinatra sounds like Gucci Mane.
Every era is a time gone by and will never come back. That called evolution of society. Grow up.
That's why I collect 45's & the instruments to play them on! I'm only 50 & grew up in the 70's but grew up listening to my Mom's 45's from the 50's & have ALWAYS LOVED that music!
A wonderfull video!! Although I grew up in a different place than this video featured, I could relate to so very much of what was shown. Thanks to modern technology the generation that grew up in the 1950's has a lot of Visual information to look back at that former generation did not have. Nostalgia is simply overwhelming when watching this series of videos. So much has been captured and preserved in AUDIO and VISUAL form. The emotions I felt watching this series of video's were far ranging indeed.
In the mid fifties, I remember having to write the date on our papers. I thought 1990 was sooo far away.
It was forty years doesnt time fly?
My mum used d to think there would be electronic sidewalks in 2000 and nobody would be walking lol
I love UA-cam...I didn't even know where LeHigh Valley was an hour and a half ago, but here we are! Great stuff! (Now on to the history of the steam locomotive!)
I was born in 1990 and this just makes me miss the 50s!
But you DID miss the 50's...
can't tell how much i enjoyed this series - even if it made me cry for those times again! big thanks cpt
Being born in '47, I fully experienced the 50s. We were a lower middle class family but still my father was able to buy a house with lots of property. Just try that now around here unless you're a doctor or a lawyer maybe. Even people with good secure government jobs can't afford a single detached house anymore in the Vancouver area. My parents' marriage didn't last too long but thanks to them, I'm still a home owner for as long as I want to be.
Immigration from East Asia is the reason why housing has gone up so much in the Vancouver area.
It's funny how you mentioned that I think about that all the time now a days home ownership is for the Rich only it's sickening I hate this era NOBODY will ever be able to get ahead that is unless you're Born into money it's disgusting no wonder why the kids nowadays have zero stablility growing up ppl today can't even afford to pay the rent/ bills and eat all month long thanks to income inequality
@@maximilian200057 It was and still is, greed.

Julie Nichols Secret to quality income. Respect people and the law. Study and work hard, =Good job!
This was such an interesting Doco ,I was born in 57 but can still see our tv set, this was a great time.
In 1955 I led a Dixieland Band at the Normandy Lounge on the northside in Chicago. It was in the same building with the big ballroom (Aragon?) where Lawrence Welk often played.
This was a 'stumbled on' for me rather than an intentional search. Really enjoyable series-thanks so much!
Most interesting documentary. At age 71 and having grown up in the south, it reminds me that all I saw in this series didn't happen, if at all, until about 10 years later where I lived. We were so very backward and behind the times. I've never been proud of being from the south, left and never went back. I realize how much I and everyone missed in our youth.
Virginia, I didn’t realize how different Southerners were. Just recently I talked to a friend from Alabama. He said that when the kids in his high school in Birmingham learned that president Kennedy had been killed, they cheered. Because they didn’t like Kennedy. When we heard about it the girls cried and we sat there in shock. We couldn’t do any class work so they called the buses and we went home. All weekend we stayed inside except to deliver my papers. We were still in shock.
@@Gregor7677 Well, I guess my experience could have been worse; Glad I didn't live in the really deep, deep south. I grew up in Georgia and my experience when Kennedy was shot was the same as yours, except that it was announced over the school-wide intercom, all were in shock, but we spent the day going through the motions of going to class with a school-wide assembly before we boarded the buses. There really is something wrong with so many southerners. Not all, of course; Atlanta is okay and decent people are found all across the south, but there's just a whole lot who, as they say, ain't right in the head.
My dad and mom were in their early teens in 55.my dad drove a Ford convertible...he said it was fast.he recalls they were great times.
@@virginiamoss7045 I’d like to add that since my company (I’m retired) was based in Alabama I have a lot of friends from there.
After the civil war, our country in it’s wisdom, granted veterans benefits to soldiers on both sides. So that’s what we do.
Growing up in Ohio in a rural area was great. I just talked to my brother about it tonight. We went to a hog farm and saw some enormous hogs that changed my whole outlook on size. Ha!
@@kendavid891 yea? No one paid stymied to speeding and drunk driving wasn’t heard of sad to say, we all had “ one for the road. “. But.. wasn’t all that great the “N” word was used a lot. It was a very raccist time in. the states. I’m perfect to tell as my mother “ passed” so I was aware of the “other” side. Very mean racist country even with educated people if a white person drcended a black. There was a name for them too. That usually shut them up white people were mean. I heard both sides. Both both
This is an absolutely lovely documentary.
I love this documentary so much. I was -20+ years old back then and my parents were just young children. I remember in the early 80s. We had snow on our 📺 that had the old 1963 rooftop antenna on it. We had cable TV and that was clear. Back in 1981 though. Not all channels were on cable yet so we had to watch some snowy picture shows and then the double vision effects too. That was annoying and my dad would have to climb up a ladder onto the roof to get a better picture. He'd yell down to my brother if the picture was more clear and I was the one telling my brother if it was or not. We had to relay the messages to my dad since he was way up high on the roof some 35 feet up and my brother could tell louder than me. Those were the olden days for me. I can't get enough of my fascination of the 50s. This is teaching me that it wasn't all Luke like Mayberry in The Andy Griffith Show. I forgot about the cold War even though I learned about it in primary school.
I love reading comments like this. They often bring back old memories for me that I had forgotten for so long.
Thank you for sharing!
No generation was perfect. They all had their ups and downs. But "the system" in place back then worked much better than it did now. The Soviet Union was a big thing, Korea was a big thing and was repressed from the public. Cuban missile crisis was a big thing. There were a lot of obstacles and threats during that time. Inequality, segregation, but the pros far out weighed the cons.
My family having Cuban roots were linked to America due to the distance the island was to Florida. My grandfather travelled to and from aplenty. He sold tools and fasteners. He had a little hub in the Hialeah area of Miami, FL. He slowly started to bring his operation stateside. In the meantime, he partnered with a local, and together they did business. He had plenty of customers up in the Midwest where the majority of production existed. He would send orders and raw material up via rail. He applied for citizenship and was granted one in 1956. He purchased the hub he was leasing, and then purchased a house. All by himself. He had to sell off some of those assets in the 60's to fund relocating my mom and grandma and uncle to Spain after the Cuban revolution decimated the island.
I'd go back in a heartbeat, wouldn't even look back.
Thanks for a great interesting informative series!!
We had one of the early TV's ... not too many in my neighborhood, Had the antennae that my dad or brother had to fiddle with. Black & white, no color, tho it was more dark grey than black. Yea, we were "up-town". LOL When we went to Okinawa (1960-63), it was still black & white. We had to use the radio tuned to AFRTS, I think ... otherwise we listened to Chester & Mat Dillon speak Japanese. Ha!!! I also had a poodle skirt and it wasn't long before I was into music, buying 45's and albums. My radio was on if the record player wasn't. Any One remember "Wolfman Jack"??
NG B YES !
crazy how we just accepted snowy reception and a tone with bars at midnite on the t.v. now we have on DEMAND streaming 4k 1080 24/7 or else! lol
this was an amazing documentary.. thank you so much for the upload..
Radio was the big thing. You could walk around our neighborhood and you would hear all the radios tuned to the same station playing in the various houses. It was like stereo before stereo. I remember the beers, Ohioans drank a lot of beer: Stroh's, Iron City, Rolling Rock, Carling Black Label, there were many local beers. We used to drive around town with a case of beer in the back seat and nobody thought anything of it. If you got stopped driving drunk the cops would usually just follow you home to make sure you got there safely. Of course I don't recommend driving drunk. I think when we were 16 we could drink 3.2% alcohol. Then when you were 21 you could drink 7.0%. The local movie theater was really the meeting spot. You could see first cartoons, then trailers from coming attractions and then the main movie for 15 cents. You could stay in there all day and watch things over and over because it had air conditioning which nobody had in their homes. So many great movies in those years. We had "sock hops" on the hardwood floors of the school gymnasium and every Friday a dance at the Community Center. I remember that was quite a daunting task for a young teenager. Girls were a whole different world to us and when we started dancing slow dances with girls we loved it. It was all so mysterious. When I grew up I joined the service and spent four years on the high seas. I moved to California after that, a mythical place in our minds when we were young, and never went back to my home town until some 50 years later when I went to a high school reunion. People hadn't changed much. Most of the people still lived in the same houses and worked at the mills. The Mahoning River still flowed weakly through the town to the waterfalls. I could go on and on but I won't. I'll just say that it was a magical period in our country's history, a time of real innocence, and we had no idea what the '60s would bring. Oh, one other thing I wanted to say, when I was in grade school I had a friend named Charlie. We used to run through the woods exploring and we had a great time. Somebody told me once that Charlie was black. I honestly did not know that because I didn't know anything about race. I had never heard the "N" word. He was just my friend. He lived in Braceville, which was about 5 miles outside of the town limits. We used to play at his house all the time and I never thought that everybody there was black. They were just people. Everybody looked out for kids and would call your parents on the phone if you were doing something naughty. I guess when I look back that it was racial discrimination that the blacks lived outside of town. But I never knew it then. We mingled effortlessly. Probably half the people my dad worked with were black. I didn't understand anything about race until I grew up.
I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, discrimination is definitely taught.. to kids,. Not a natural instinct at all...
I was born 12-24-49 we didn't listen to the radio. Television was it. Mom and Dad both served in WW2 he was 35 when I was born, mom was 30. They settled into a new life together in California. 1950 to 1960 was the first 10 years of my life.
Thanks for sharing this work!
This is a real treat! ♥️
Wonderful and love learning more about the fabulous fifties....with the exception of "Rose Craig" and her earlier comment of course. Always a bad apple I guess.
Thank you for a great video compilation!
What a beautiful show
My brother, cousin and I went to see Jailhouse Rock at Humboldt TN only theatre. Woohoo.. it cost us a dime each!
That’s awesome 👏 😎
Excellent, thanks 😊👍🇬🇧🏴

Cordialement,
Lakeland Florida has the oldest Drive-In and it is still going today ! SILVERMOON Drive In. I's great ! Double screen Drive IN.
Joe Johnson No. That’s called a “Drive Through.”
I was born in 1968 and was basically raised by my grandma and grandpa who taught me alot I grew up around the parents of the baby boomers so I kinda got raised like them only in the 70s instead of the 50s I was warned about alot of the things that has happen between 1970 and 2000. Alot of the old timers said they felt sorry for me which did 2 things scared me and put me in a state of denial. Things are actually even worst than what they predicted and alot of the things I was taught as a kid dont apply anymore it's like an episode of star trek where your thrown into a time on earth where most everything is backwards to what you were taught and punished if necessary for doing the wrong things now you are praised and rewarded for the same things making you weak and feeling entitled as a human being. I could go on and on I'm just glad I got a wee bit taste of these days gone by.
Best of times will never be of again will they kids today KNOW nothing of what it was like to grow up of then 50s 60s 70s where the best of all times for this Country. Of no dumb ass like today where there of take of this election old Joe he would of not last of morr than a day same as others they. Would of done away with them. In short to put of it.

In the 80s we cruised in Oklahoma. We called it dragging Main. Everyone honked, you got dressed up, washed the car, and enjoyed Friday and Saturday nights.
Even I’m the 70s. You could afford college on a summer job and also buy a good house. A car was three grand .. brand mew
Our innocence, our my naiveness, and the feeling of being safe. Then we grow up, and see the nitty-gritty of things!!! That's when I wish I could go back in time!!! The memories........😥😥🤣🤣❤
You could always stick your head in the sand while being a bigot. That's pretty much the way most of Americans functioned back then.

very good documentary...
TELEVISION WAS ALSO SOMETHING NSW I PUERTO RICO WHILE I WAS GROWING UP. WE WERE THE THIRD FAMILY TO HAVE A TV SET IN OUR HOUSE. A BIG TWENTY FIVE INCH SCREEN TV SET. WE HAD SHOWS, COMEDY AND WESTERN SERIES LIKE BONANZA, CHEYENNE, HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL, GUNSMOKE, THE RIFLE MAN AMONG OTHERS DUBBED IN LATINO SPANISH BY PUERTO RICAN ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. WE ALSO HAD MOVIE HOUSES WHERE WE COULD GO AND WATCH WESTERN SERIALS.
In the late 50s, as a response to Russia's Sputnik, the Mercury 7 astronauts we're chosen and we embarked on the space race. Then in '69 America landed the first men on the moon. I was so proud of my nation and felt there was nothing my country could not accomplish! I am so disappointed that I was so wrong. Entropy IS a real thing tho. 😪
I graduated H.S. in 1961 and even then noticed that they were great years UNLESS you were not white, were not a religious person, were not a woman and, even worse, were gay. There was a lot of cruelty and women were often not able to stand up for themselves. One of my classmates turned out to be a wife beater and she had to tolerate it for a long time because of the way things were.
So you're saying yours and your parent's generations were racist gay woman haters?
@@tularem Well, yes. I grew up in the south; definitely racist and completely intolerant (hateful) of homosexual people. The entrenched culture of a-woman's-place-is-in-the-home mentality was world wide and still is in many places. It was a prosperous and simple time, but it also had its cultural evils.
This documentary about life in general in the Lehigh Valley (Allentown) in the 50's. Yes there were bad things that happened but that's not what this particular series is about. No one gives a rat's ass about your wife beating classmate, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with this doc. whatsoever.
@@virginiamoss7045 I agree with you. Every period of history has it's cultural evils, but the point this video makes is valid, as you well express.
In my opinion, too many feel obligated to engage in handwringing, which in my view emanates from academia and a corrupt media. All that's allowed is an omnipresent message of race and conflict these days. It is intruding on a really valid presentation focusing on how most of us experienced the 50s. Will we have to qualify every positive story from now on with "but there is racism and sexism?"
There is always evil, but that doesn't mean good things can't be celebrated.
Go back to mommy's basement
Better times.
I was born in 1960 and believe the decline of this country really started around 1973 with the oil embargo.The remainder of the 70's were tough for my family.My dad worked in a factory making cans and we owned a poultry farm.We sold the farm in 1977 and we had move that same year to Georgia because the factory my dad worked at closed.Now I look back and think how much this country has changed in my lifetime and it is amazing because this isn't the country I was born in.People used to have pride in their country and belief in themselves.Now able bodied people throw down welfare cards to buy groceries without shame.
The decline started with the shipping of U.S. jobs out of this country. And with the liberal b.s. that has ruined this country since the days of Kennedy and LBJ.
People going on welfare seems to be inevitable now with the state that North America is in.
All countries have changed in 60 years or so. It's inevitable, If you'd have been born in 1600 in Germany, you'd have started out well but probably died some time during, and because of, the 30 years war. The 50s was not a regular decade, it was the exception, and it has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives. There was full employment as the US expanded its economy, and the country was literally bought out. High wages, low prices, and proper income distribution through taxes. There were no money superstars, really. But the insouciance was also a 10-year dance on a volcano.
dave4708 that is so true, welfare before work , is the way this country is going. Should be work if you are able bodied for your food.
dave4708: I think the decline of this country started when the Viet Nam War Ended in 1973. I think the decline in people having pride in this country And Believing in themselves started when Nixon became president in 1969.
Is a local production, Not by the national PBS. Is local to the Pennsylvania-Lehigh Valley area, an entity called "PBS39"
Kids today have no idea what they missed out on
When I mention the tv program leave it to beaver and buying penny candy they have no idea what I’m talking about
But I’ve had young people asking me about the times of the 50s and 60s and they wish they grew up back then
Remer the one room school? The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not they did back in 1954
The sweet spot of the united states(America) Kaos since that time.
Very interesting.....
Not a PBS documentary, but locally produced by PBS affiliate WLVT-TV 39 in Allentown. Interesting nonetheless...
the end of the video, was sad for the song and all that the world had to engage
RADIO WBTM DANVILLE, VIRGINIA I WAS RAISED ON THE RADIO📻
Perfect!
We didn’t get a television till 1969awful for us
First song that plays as it ends?
I wanted more program!!
What the hell is the first song as the docu ends?
I don't have an answer, but if it's the saxophone number I need to know what it.s called.
LIFE WAS SIMPLER THEN, FAMILIES WERE CLOSELY KNIT AND ABOVE ALL WE DIDN'T THE RACIAL PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE HAD IN THE STATES. WE USED TO PLAY AND GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS BLACK KIDS IN PUERTO RICO. BLACK KIDS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD COME TO OUR HOUSE AND PLAY WITH ME AND MY SISTER AND MY PARENTS WOULDN'T MIND AT ALL.
Now....if you could just get a decent non-corrupt governor to lead Puerto Rico...that would be something. The island should be the richest, most prosperous of the Caribbean. Benefits from the United States, a huge tourist industry, rum exports....just where does the money go? Can you answer that?
Still no part 2?
Why is part 2 blocked in Canada? I was just getting into this.
Yea, I don't know. I'll try to reupload it.

Was this our lives? All reduced to to what products we consume?
Born in 47. The fiftys were great then the sixtys were out of sight. The seventh started women's lib and being a wussie. As Bob Seger said. " if I hear disco and not rock n roll I'm out the door " I got to live in the very best of times! Thanks Mom and Dad !!!!
No mention of family structure and marriage but I suppose there's plenty of videos on here that cover that sociological aspect of living during this decade or you could just ask your grandparents about sex roles and behavior expectations that they had.
eurosonly Yeah. And then ask the powerless kids who grew up in a domestic war zone because their combative “parents” decided to “stay together for the sake of the kids” and “But what would the *neighbors* think” if they got divorced, thus offering even a remote possibility of domestic peace breaking out.
Oh, and don’t forget all the Shotgun marriages-ask them about that too, “What evah would the neighborhood think?” Gasp and pearl clutch!
.wietzfc1: ...and what about some of the "men" (i.e. more like just males since real men didn't do what they did) who had wanton sex and it was the girl's fault for being "loose" and her "responsibility to take care of the problem". Or, even better, they decided to get married so as not to be ostracized by society. Yeah...that's a great environment for a kid to grow up in...resentment, "you were a mistake".
You hit the nail on the head. Thank you!
@@tundrawomansays5067 Feminism and Gay Pride are what happened to wipe out the traces of goodness in the 50s. IMO.
Much the same in other parts of the world
Wow crusing ended in the early 80s gas got to exspencive !
what're you talkin' about? We used to cruise around in our cars in the mid/late 80's, but the police were always harassing us! We'd cruise around & park in the local Hardee's parking lot & hang out till the cops came & kicked us out!
@@seatboi thats why we had to keep on the move all the time as soon as they found you time to go so u had to cobstantly cruise and spend money on gas. idtake out my chevelle for a few hours then bring it home n jump in a buddys regular car
The two main factors that changed our country for the worse were drugs starting in the mid 60's and economics starting in the 70's. Both continue to be our biggest problems facing our country today.
LOL!
Paul Anka, Annette Funichello, Frankie Avalon were not very good singer or musician nor was Fabian , but those performers were backed by Walt Disney who was a racist. Walt owned several of the stations around Philadelphia, Allentown and Bethlehem and he forced the kids to listen to his kind of music. So social pressure was here long before social media.
My dad liked Elvis but called the other stuff Ngr music.
My dad would walk in the door and yell turn that G. D. N. Music off and that was the end of that.
We didn't have a bathroom inside of the house but we had a console TV and still he thought we were better than a person of a different color. I had to sit beside my mom on cold winter mornings and go to the bathroom in a old two hole outhouse.
I still can't go to the bathroom in front of other people.. 60 years later.

CORRECTION! A wonderful time IF: You were white! If you were not gay! If you were not female! If you were NOT a freethinker and rejected religion! If you were NOT a male with long hair! The list goes on. I grew up then and witnessed the hatred of gays and blacks and the misogynistic treatment of all women! It was actually a period of denial where the WASP men ruled. My sister was a member of MENSA, but worked her career as a secretary! You get the drift? Best of luck to all of us!
😂
Good for you, you’ve bought into the big lie!!! The Creator said, he will send you strong delusions for those who choose to believe the lie. The Creator is not a religion. This is not about you or me this is the Creators creation and his plan in how this is going to end, but in it’s not the end as how man’s limited mind defines end. The Creator’s end is the beginning of eternity. I don’t expect you to understand spiritual discernment, because man only knows the spirit of man and not the Creator. You must be drawn by the Creator to understand spiritual discernment, and while you reject spiritual discernment the Creator can not draw you. The Creator gives you a Free Will for this is love. If he made you believe this would be of a controlling Spirit which is not love at all. He puts the ball in your court…your choice!!!
Its 2022 now, pretty special for ALL races now, especially Blacks..
@@arthurmckenna8154 What in the Sam Hill are you blathering about? Perhaps it's time to adjust your tin-foil hat and get back on your meds.
You are spot-on with your analysis. The sad thing is that all of those things you mentioned are just as prevalent today, as they were then. I for one am quite ashamed of how little progress we have made in these areas in all this time. When the wildly out of control trumpers preach "Let's make America Great Again", what they are really saying is "Let's make America white again.) It's so sad and so shameful.

Yes it was wasn't it . Good Times
My grandparents were Mexican Americans and they worked hard for a 50s-60s middle class life. The dream was for everyone willing to work hard. My grandma wasn't a housewife she worked a good job with benefits.
Anyone who grew up in the depression will tell you they learned to save and conserve what little they had.
They never complained about white privilege and hard work. I don't know if they faced prejudice being Mexican but my grandma always loved talking about the 40s and 50s. My grandfather was in the Army an was almost deployed to Korea but I think the conflict reached a stalemate when he served
@@meztizo_americano86Same with my grandparents. My grandfather was a machinist. He was Spaniard, but lived in Cuba. During the 50's he would travel to and from a plenty. He would make custom tools, fasteners, parts, equipment, for various industries. Whatever the need arose, he would fill the void. He built up a bit of a reputation. Eventually setup shop in Miami. Had plenty of customers all over the country. He eventually applied for citizenship. He purchased the warehouse he leased for the business, as well as a house. All by himself. Eventually the Cuban revolution put a big strain on things, and he ended up selling some assets to help relocate my mom and grandma off the island. They eventually arrived to America in the 70's.
Were there racists sure, but most folks respected hard work, and honest wages. Problem solvers were always appreciated, which he was.

Some parts of America have a minority that dominate the area. The Southwest had a big population of second generation Mexican-Americans in the old days. Mexicans had their businesses and whites have their businesses to cater to their demographics. Where I'm from mexican-americans were discriminated on more than blacks. There were hardly any blacks in my area in the 50s and 60s. Everyone just hates everyone nowadays it seems. I know Chicanos that hate Mexicans I know upper class white people that hate lower class white people.
