Sundays in the 1950s - Looking Back Over the Landscape of Americana #Video

A wonderful compilation of photos down memory lane! Well done, well narrated, well said!

Our family time on Sundays was the family picnic. Even though Saturday is God's Sabbath, not Sunday, that is really pagan say for sun god worship. That is where Sunday gets its name. But Sunday was the only day when everyone was home from work to be together..

Thanks Mel !! I was born in1951 and we went to church every Sunday - But it was not quite as ideal as this video !! We walked to church and my mom cooked great meals and we did watch Ed Sullivan at 7PM
Stay Safe ! C. G.

Yes, I remember it all. It was wonderful!

That was the truth! Life was great back then!!!

Wonderful

Loved that video, brought back alit of great memories.

I well remember the 50's and watching the Ed Sullivan show - but I also remember the Senator McCarthy disaster, and the segregation. Good times for some, but not for others

Great memories !!

I can't explain it but watching this made me break into tears as I remembered every single thing he talked about. I am what I am today because of my church upbringing and I am truly thankful for all the Sundays that were filled with family, food, and fun. I miss those days.

Great. These were my memories.

Times have sure changed since the 50's---and not for the better! This video is a real wake up.

Ahhhhh the memories

And for some families, after church lunch might consist of the same oatmeal as you had for breakfast, or that may have been the only meal of the day.

Video notice arrives daly, but video of the day doesn't open up. Would loe to continue getting them.

Brings back memories of my childhood.

Also, women and girls had to cover their heads when going inside a church; even if it were an emergency handkerchief. placed there "Those were the days my friend, we thought it would never end". Sadly, it did.

What beautiful memories! Whatever one's Christian faith, this was our life in the 1950's. Sports games, if held for children, were AFTER CHURCH, not in conflict with time for worship. Likewise, we did not run to stores to shop or for diversion. Yes, a better time in this respect. Will it return? There is hope. Everyone who is old enough to have been in this time, has a story - many a sweet story. Thanks Mel! A blessed day to you, your family and your many followers!

Sorry, the 50's were great times for straight, white people, not for people of color or LBGTQ.

It's sad. It makes me think religious people blame the lack of religion on the ways of the current world and they're showing this to justify their beliefs and possibly force religion on us. According to a controversial new bill, Louiana will require schools to display The 10 Commandments. TheyLouisina feel by forcing it on people, it will make everything wholesome and right. IT WON'T.
