Let us never forget that.

I was 20 on 4/4/68. Martin Luther King made such a huge impact on me and my generation. That I actually saw and heard live interviews, especially during the Selma march, is amazing. Watching that march on Washington in 1963.. never forget it.

Funerals and marches
We had a small B&W TV.
He said you will learn more fom watching this today, than you will at school
I actually don't remember which were on which days, school days or not. I was put 8n front of the TV though
I'll always appreciate him for that.
He wasn't a flaming liberal, but he frequently quoted MLK, voted for RFK...but then RReagan too.

I grew up in West Texas and New Mexico, Taos, before I started school.
I haven't really lived in West Texas since I was 17. I am reminded why whenever I return. Fish out of water.
However, at least when I lived there, I had some good experiences. The schools were integrated, and we all got along. It was richer culturally, and more fun. I had a black nanny, who was my mother, and she was wise and good to me. We wachd American Bandstand and Ed Sullivan. I say the Beatles.

49 years, damn, I'm getting old. I was 18.

Thank you for your amazing service to our country and its citizens, of every race, religion, and color.

I am getting old, remember too many assassinations that were horrendous and history changing.
