Decade Topic Ideas? ?

As a research topic for my american literature class, we were each given a 3 decades to choose from in which to look for a topic. My decades are the 20s, 50s, or 80s. I must choose something from any of those time periods. An example would be like The beatles = 60s. Our thesis is how this specific topic changed the world and how it has revolutionized living today. What is a good topic regarding the 20s, 50s or 80s?



*NOTE*: Please do not suggest:



Stock Market Crash 1920s

Any Wars

Anything to to do with Airplane flight (eg Charles Lindburgh)

Fashion

Biological discoveries (dna, insulin, etc)

Some inventions

Civil Rights





Things that would be okay:

Biographical....like my friend got the same time period and shes doing John Lennon's assassination...something like that would be okay...I just want to know who the person is.

Media....music...but not people like Elvis or Louis Armstrong.
