Video: Lectures in History, C-SPAN

You can find a large number of lectures addressing the period 1941-1960 in C-SPAN's Lectures in History series. The decades of the 1940s and 1950s contain many notable events that result in abundant material for historians' lectures. For example: World War II (more than 20 lectures related to WWII); the Cold War (at least 8 lectures); Korean War (only 3 lectures); post-WWII economic growth; emergence of the Civil Rights movement (at least 12 lectures); a variety of other social and cultural topics.
