1948: America 75 Years Ago (AM)

June 23, 2023 @ 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Election of 1948

I’m back with the latest installment of my popular “Time Capsule” series! Each session will explore the year’s top news stories, top movies and shows, famous birds and deaths, what things cost, and so much more!

In this session, we will dive into America as it was 75 years ago,

In the tumultuous year of 1948. The baby boom was in full swing; we read the famous “Dewey defeats Truman” headline, and “Uncle Milty” – the one and only Milton Berle – made Americans run out and buy their first television! 1948 brought one of the most exciting upset elections of all time; Israel was born, as was Billy Crystal, Gandhi was assassinated, and the first instant cameras were used.
