The George Gund Foundation Imprint in African American StudiesAmerican Bandstand, one of the most popular television shows ever, broadcast from Philadelphia in the late fifties, a time when that city had become a battleground for civil rights. 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 & how black teens & civil rights advocates protested this discrimination

Matthew F. Delmont brings together major themes in American history—civil rights, rock & roll, television, & the emergence of a youth culture—as he tells how white families around American Bandstand’s studio mobilized to maintain all-white neighborhoods & how local school officials reinforced segregation long after Brown vs. Board of Education

The Nicest Kids in Town powerfully illustrates how national issues & history have their roots in local situations, & 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.
