Is a decade (ex. 1950s) singular or plural?
For example, would it be "the 1950s were a time" or "the 1950s was a time"?
The word itself is in plural form, but I'd think it stands together as one decade.

You're correct. It's "was."
A decade is singular. It is one thing - a group of 10 years. The 1950s names the decade.
'The 1950s was a time ... ' is correct.
