[QUOTE="klmno, post: 458145, member: 3699"] I placed the time period because they mentioned the "upcoming" MLK march that was planned. The experience I referred to re my grandparents and family though covered the majority of the 1960's- probably until around 1970. Maybe by that point it wasn't about race anymore but was a social status thing. I did pick up on a LOT of things reflective of our culture then other than pertaining to race- the Cadillac and social "in" crowd, the snobbish families who kept secrets, the expectation for a young female to get married and tendency not to accept her if she wanted a career, etc. It almost made it easy to see how I got labeled the black sheep of the family.
