Counter to host Dick Clark's claims that he integrated American Bandstand, this book reveals how the first national television program directed at teens discriminated against black youth during its early years and how black teens and civil rights advocates protested this discrimination. Matthew F. Delmont brings together major themes in American history-civil rights, rock and roll, television, and the emergence of a youth culture-as he tells how white families around American Bandstand's studio mobilized to maintain all-white neighborhoods and how local school officials reinforced segregation long after Brown vs. Board of Education. The Nicest Kids in Town powerfully illustrates how national issues and history have their roots in local situations, and how nostalgic representations of the past, like the musical film Hairspray, based on the American Bandstand era, can work as impediments to progress in the present. 410 0$aAmerican Crossroads 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory$y20th century$zPennsylvania$zPhiladelphia 606 $aSegregation$xHistory$y20th century$zPhiladelphia$zPennsylvania 606 $aCivil rights movements$xHistory$y20th century$zPennsylvania$zPhiladelphia 606 $aMinorities on television 607 $aPhiladelphia (Pa.)$xRace relations$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aSegregation$xHistory 615 0$aCivil rights movements$xHistory 615 0$aMinorities on television 676 $a323.1196073074811 700 $aDelmont$b Matthew F.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01040668 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457873303321 996 $aThe Nicest Kids in Town$92463712 997 $aUNINA
