Did we get much in the way of social infrastructure? Was there much society building at all? In a past 1T we got... the Constitution. Nothing comparable in the 1950s and 60s.
I firmly believe that the Millennial 1T has more Unraveling characteristics than prior First Turnings. Even the widespread adoption of television, contributing to the social atomization of entertainment, is 3Tish.
There was the Civil Rights movement that was accomplishing its primary goal of achieving de facto African American suffrage and ending Jim Crow as the 1T was coming to an end.
