Songs were written to lift people up, while the Government was dealing with the Berlin Wall. But there was one song, that wasn't really popular in American, but it was popular in Germany. Now, some background on the people who wrote this song. The Scropians, was the definition of heavy rock back then. But when their song, Winds of Change, was let out something was different. This was a power balled, not a heavy rock song. The reasons were unknown, until a podcaster remembered something his old F.B.I friend told him. The F..B.I friend had heard rumors that the song, Winds of Change, was secretly written by the Government to stop the Berlin Wall from the inside. Was this true? You'll have to listen to the podcast to find out.]]> 2021-04-01 12:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1375172635 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1375176020 While the Government was trying to fight off Stattin and the Berlin wall, people on the home front were brewing up a fashion storm. Some fashions styles that started trending for women were knee length a-dresses and puffed shoulders in patriotic colors, plaid skirts and white blouses, jumpers, cardigans, and so much more! Some fashion trends for men were victory suits (Man tailored jackets a pants), trousers, pocket flaps, shoulder pads, and even more! Fashion was a way to take people's minds of what was happening out the home front. Fashion really does keep our minds off of the bad things, and helps express ourselves, from the wealthy business man, to the Rosie the Riveter look.]]> 2021-04-01 12:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1375176020 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1386953244 Fashion, sitcoms, teenagers, what could be next? How about food? What food was popular in the 1950s? First let's start off with breakfast. If you lived south you could normally have bacon, eggs, and toast. If you lived further south it would be eggs, toast, and biscuits. And north would be bacon, eggs, hash browns, and skillet potatoes. If that didn't get your mouth watering, wait until lunch. Normally for lunch and dinner, families would have Fried Chicken, ham, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, fried fish, and pork chops. Don't forget that there had to be something like sweet corn, butter beans, turnip greens, or any other vegetable. And finally, desert. There were crazy desserts like Atomic Fireballs, Black Taffy, Candy Necklaces, Root Bear, Jello, Baked Alaska, Upside Down Cake, and Jello. So much food to try, so how about you go make some good food from the 1950s.]]> 2021-04-06 13:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1386953244 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1386960668 1940s fashion had nothing on the fashion in the 1950s, people definitely enjoyed the 1950s more. Causal wear became more popular during the mid 1950s with women still wearing tailored blouses, striped blazers, and tapered slacks in bright colors. Back then women mostly stayed in the house so the average house wife would wear sleeves, a modest high neckline with patterns, and collars and white cuffs. Men usually wore suits and ties just like a business man. But the real change was with teenagers, especially high schoolers looking to impress a women. They worse sports coats,skinny ties, Letterman jackets, blowing shirts, and saddle shoes. The 1950s really showed how Americans embraced life being free, but the worst part about was the stereotyping.]]> 2021-04-06 13:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1386960668 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1387115691 The 1950s introduced some problems to America, but the one thing that kept people at peace was the introduction to sitcoms. Sitcoms are a TV show that presents normal life, with a normal family getting into shenanigans.  Some popular sitcoms back then were Life With Elizabeth, The Trouble with Father, I married Joan, Date with Angels, My Little Margie, I Love Lucy, he Life of Riley, and The Abbott and Costello Show. But there was one thing in common, they presented to perfect suburban life. Life were there was no problems going on, people wanted to live that life. These shows also showed that women belong at home, and not fighting or helping out with the Korean War. But in 2021, Marvel created a series called WandaVision full of sitcom inspired episodes, including 1950s. This was done because they wanted to show the main character coming out more ad more as the episodes progress, coming more and more out of the house. If you haven't watched 1950s sitcoms, then you will have a treat watching I Love Lucy.]]> 2021-04-06 13:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1387115691 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1407236030 The word "teenager" was invented in the 1950s to describe children between 13 and 17. Men wanted to impress girls with their sport jackets, leather jackets, skinny jeans, and more. Teenager girls just wanted a boyfriend and soon a husband. But there was some problems since they were young kids. Some of these problems were self esteem, body issues, bullying, depression, drinking, and even underage dating. But that didn't stop the teens of the 1950s, they lived life to the fullest. 14 year old's worked, went out to diner's, drank, partied until they passed out, and just had fun. Eve though this seems like the most fun life, there was still some problems. Kids got too drunk at parties, they didn't know the hazards of smoking, and some women even got pregnant at a young age.]]> 2021-04-12 13:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1407236030 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1493614703 It was 1957, a couple years after the boycott in Montgomery. The court in Arkansas decided to make the step big step in racial rights. So the court chose nine colored high school students to go to an all white high school. But the process of getting in was impossible. Because the president decided to place the national guard in front of the school, to stop the colored students from coming in. There was shoving, parents yelling, and colored reporters being abused out of the scene. It was awful. But when all hope was seen as lost, there was an announcement from the President on a fall evening. The President said that he would summon the national guard, not because he didn't want to students to come in the school, he called them because he wanted protection for the students. And so that next day, the nine colored students were escorted to the school. Parents were yelling, but no one did anything to stop the children from entering the school.]]> 2021-05-05 13:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1493614703 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1509026225 The book titled, "Ruth and The Green Book", is a nice book about the journey of Ruth and her family as she embarks for the South to visit her grandmother. But her and her family had trouble trying to find gas stations, restrooms, and even inns to stay at during their journey. So one day, Ruth's father finds a gas station with a colored man, the father ask the man where they could stay that allowed colored people, and then the Gas station attendant sells them the Green Boo. The Green Book is a map and shows towns and cities with inns, restrooms, restaurants, and gas stations that will attend to colored people. So the story continues as Ruth goes through the Green Book looking for inns and gas stations, meeting generous people, and then even giving her own stuffed animal to a little colored boy. Now what is the theme of this book? I think the theme of this book is Generosity, because this book really shows how a community (The Colored Community in this book) can come together even with harsh circumstances. People help each other, that's what good comes out of a bad situation. ]]> 2021-05-10 13:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1509026225 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1517299162 During the Children't March in Birmingham, Alabama, D-Day, police were all lined up to stop children from marching and parading because they "didn't have a License". But the police were expecting to arrest kids crying and saying, "I wanna go home!". But, they were singing, laughing, and even clapping, but why? I think all the colored children were happy to be arrested because they were doing something important in their lives. Kids were the only ones who volunteered to go to jail after Martin Luther King Jr. was released. But Martin said no to the kids who volunteered because he didn't want children to get hurt. But the one thing he wasn't expecting was over 4,000 kids to march, sing, clap, and laugh as they were shot at by water, bitten by dogs, and abused by police officers. The kids wanted to make a stand, have their own rights, go to better schools, play better sports, and just a have equal rights as white children. That's why they were laughing and happy, because they were ready to fight for their freedom. They were ready to be a part of something grand and beautiful, the Civil Rights Movement. ]]> 2021-05-12 13:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1517299162 lydiamurphy91 https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1517348091 As you know, The Children;t march in Birmingham, Alabama (AKA, D-Day), was full of over 1,000 colored children marching for their own rights. But how did they get here from schools? Wouldn't the teachers had done something to stop them? No, they didn't. One example of a teacher that helped fuel the Children's March was Mrs. Goree. Mrs. Goree was a colored teacher at a colored school, and she didn't do anything when kids came out of her windows, ran out doors, and ran out of the classroom. But why didn't she do anything? Because she wanted to have the same rights as a white person, but she couldn't say anything because it would cost her, her own job. Back then, if people with occupation said anything about having more rights, they would pay for it. Some examples of it would be getting your car reposed, losing your job, or even selling your own house. It was awful, so what Mrs. Goree did, saved her job. She just turned away from the kids to let them run out the doors and jump out the windows. Mrs. Goree was very brave to do this, and she still kept her job after all that time, she helped fuel D-Day, she helped fuel the marches. She helped fuel the civil Rights Movement.]]> 2021-05-12 13:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lydiamurphy91/kz9x0rhx9vruqnxm/wish/1517348091
