I was in first grade and already pissed at the teacher. She wouldn't let me play with my cousin who was in second grade while we were at recess. I never got over that.
I guess the Progressive background I had was more intense than I realized. By the summer of '63, when I turned 8, I was aware that Bobby Kennedy, the President's brother, had gone to Alabama to force George Wallace to stop blocking "*****" (the preferred term then) kids from entering the school. It made NO sense, and neither did the pictures of water fountains marked "White" and "Colored" that were on the news. It wasn't till a few years later that I figured out it was the University of Alabama.I was 7, in the first grade, and couldn't really understand how this could have happened. :angry:
You know, back then we had God, Roy Rogers and Superman in charge of everything so I felt VERY safe up 'til then. :erm:

Holy ****! I don't believe you wrote that! (Good show on the presidents the other night, no?)When it came to the Civil Rights for all Americans, JFK was not a hero. RFK was the hero, and, of course, so was LBJ, who wanted to be the 2nd FDR .
Why? History is what it is--not what we want it to be. Ignoring inconvenient facts doesn't make you a Right Wing Historian or Left Wing Historian, but a DISHONEST historian.Holy ****!
