3. I was eleven years old at the time.

My parents were very liberal. I knew what segregation meant, I was aware of the hate and discrimination. The injustice.

When I was in high school, I kept a journal of poetry that I wrote, about Black and White coming together as one. White hand meeting Black hand in unity and grief. Oh, I am not saying that it was good poetry, however it was how I felt. I still have it.

Thank you freshwest!

Just before I sent this I went back to your original Thread, saw your answer to Warpy, and no you were not wrong to post this here! This is what our President is doing for this country. He is uniting us all!
