The Quest 2 class at MSP is definitely feeling a blast from the past. These students are working on a simulation of the 1950s. This activity replicates life during one of America’s most misunderstood, yet fondly remembered, decades – the 50’s. The decade of the 1950s is in our recent past, and we of the present are indeed products in some way of those years. To those who were teenagers then, the 1950s were exciting, golden years. They feel those times were filled with “happy people with happy problems.” They remember relatively peaceful years punctuated with rock’n’roll, proms, angora sweaters, and chocolate Cokes. Others who were older and shouldered more responsibility remember the fifties as a decade of trouble and postponement of solutions to many problems. They point to weak political leadership, continued racial injustices, urban decay, and Cold War flare-ups.
