The prosperity of the 1950s largely bypassed marginalized groups, particularly African Americans, Native Americans, and other racial minorities. Despite the post-war economic boom, many faced systemic discrimination, limited job opportunities, and substandard living conditions. The benefits of the era's economic growth were often concentrated among white middle-class families, leaving these groups to contend with poverty and inequality. Additionally, women, especially those in lower-income brackets, also struggled to gain equal footing in the workforce despite societal expectations shifting towards domestic roles.
