1950 To 1959

I am Eisenhower builds the 
Interstate highway. 
   I am polio vaccine that 
Saves the day. 

   I am the energy of civil 
Rights. 
   I am the first transcontinental 
Flight. 

   I am the Rosenbergs guilty they 
Get the death sentence. 
   I am Elvis rocking, 
You can feel his presence. 

   I am a disc-jockey who terms 
The word rock n roll. 
   I am NASA created, can we get 
A drum roll. 

   I am the baby-boom era at  
It's peak. 
   I am Rosa Parks not giving up 
Her seat. 

  I am the first episode of leave 
It to beaver. 
   I am the TV remote control 
Receiver. 

   I am the first passenger jet 
Airline. 
   I am Winston Churchill when 
He resigns. 

   I am Barbie and the hula 
Hoop. 
   I am DNA discovered the 
Double-helix loop. 

   I am the first credit card 
And solar-cell. 
   I am super-glue and the 
Birth-control pill. 

   I am the new rhythm 
And blues. 
   I am Elvis in Blue suede 
Shoes. 

   I am a fender electric 
Guitar on scene. 
   I am Chuck Berry and 
Maybellene.
