[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 151231, member: 1498"] Following on what donna said..... I recently was involved in a discussion on another board about which was partly about race relations in the 60's. The young people on that board were absolutely convinced that the country was totally segregated in all aspects of life. It wasn't. Neither I nor my parents ever attended a segregated school. In my lifetime, every public facility in my area was completely integrated. Though my father once drove Louis Armstrong to the private home where he was staying because the local hotels were all segregated, that was well before WWII and my lifetime. I am white. One of my first boyfriends was black. When I was a child, my parents were friends with a married interracial couple. The young people on that other board had no clue that there were parts of the country like the area where I lived. I'm not saying that there was no racism, just that it wasn't institutionalized the way it was in other parts of the country. [/QUOTE]
