The Changing Face of American Society
I was part of a generation that experienced the best America had to offer and yes, I am a first-wave baby boomer. Rebuilding a country after a world war brought out the very best in our culture. The population of the US, before the boomers arrived in 1946, was approximately 140 million. Within a few years, the boomers accounted for a population increase of 79 million and with it a generation of innovation and prosperity.
