Fahrenheit 451
By: Ray Bradbury
Rules and Order
In a world where strict rules are in place, books are illegal, and book burnings are the norm; daring to be different then everybody else is Montag.
Tech: Colored TV
Colored television was first introduced in the US in 1953, but its high prices greatly lowered its acceptance in the marketplace.
Government: Communism
The fear of communism in the US caused public Congressional hearings in both houses of congress.
Education: Desegregation of Education
Desegregation was the biggest educational even in the 1950's. Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas declared that segregation in schools is unconstitutional.
