Television music and sports

During World War II, televisions became more affordable.In 1946 it is estimated there were between 7,000 and 8,000 sets in the entire United States. By 1957 there were 40 million television sets in use. Over 80 percent of families had televisions.

Sports: baseball started the integration process in 1947, it really became an integrated sport in the 1950s.

Music: Music in the early 1950s was much like the 1940s: crooners everywhere. And that’s not a bad thing, but apparently the kids thought it was.
