Want to know why 1950s housewives always looked so put-together? They literally had no choice. | Sunday Roast

In this rare CBS classroom clip from the 1950s, a group of young Black students share what they want to be when they grow up — a teacher, a nurse, a doctor, a dentist. Their voices carry something deeper than childhood imagination — they echo generations of hope, ambition, and quiet resistance. In a time when opportunity wasn’t promised, they still dreamed out loud. And those dreams… became the foundation for everything we are today. #1950sAmerica #CBSArchives #VintageFootage #CivilRightsEra #Bl
