How can I avoid writing stereotypes in a novel that takes place in the 1950's?

Post Body

I'm writing a murder mystery that starts in the early 50's and ends in the late 50's. I want these books to make the readers feel like they are in that time era, but I don't want to fall into stereotypes. I know there are popular assumptions on how the world looked back then, and how people talked and acted etc... but what are some things people may not realize are stereotypes from that era that I should avoid? And are there any elements from that era I could include to make it feel more interesting and genuine? Like certain styles, locations, objects, activities etc...
