I watched a documentary that I think was called Japanese Into the War. It talked about the Japanese perspective behind ww2 and Americas atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. -kaci Kelsey
Story of Migrant workers in the 60s under Eisenhower. It was aired on Thanksgiving to make Americans aware of the hard work and conditions of those who provide the food on our tables. There are 5 families who are interviewed some white others black. This documentary was slavery by another name, another generation, another kind. While America is bustling in New England cities and moving to the suburbs, the South was in a time capsule dead lock.
One story was of a boy who took care of his three sisters. He had a nail in his foot and a bed with holes in it from rats. His mother worked in the field picking beans. She made $1 a day. The nursery was too expensive, costing 85 cents. The young mother was only 29 but she began her work in the field at the age of 8. Now keep in mind this is not a story form times of the slave trade. No, this is America in the 1960! 21 years in the field and there wasn’t much prosperous hope.
Penalization of migrants was common. “The best hope for the migrants lies in the education of their children”. Only six states provided summer school for migrants. The documentary then enters a summer school for these children who are so humble and desire to learn that it hurts to watch. Children in the south at this time who parents work in agriculture want to learn but are being deprived of the right. The Federal Government allocates 6 million annually to protect migratory wild life. The year the film was shot they gave nearly failed to give 3 million to educate migratory children.
The migrant farmer is the most poorly housed person of society. They are trapped between what society expects and societal demands. They questions official who were dumbfound to answer why wages vary on a daily basis. Upper class reaps the benefits of these laborers and are faced with some responsibility for what is seen in this documentary.

I watched a documentary called living in the sixties. It talked about how many people survived during that time. Also how they reacted to politics during the time.The documentary also talked about how the baby boomers turned out as teenagers and how the work forces were changing.
I watched a documentary on the post America:1950's it basically went over the changing events accruing in America such as the migration to the suburbs and it's founder. Along with the baby boom then it talked about how this came to be saying that it was young couples reuniting into the war. Than brung up a second cause television they then introduced that medium along with the computers and formers of entertainment( rock and roll and I love Lucy).
