Since I grew up in New Mexico which at the time had few blacks living there (I had only known two) I had never heard of it. While in the army in South Carolina in 1965 and the only white guy in the barracks during June I heard about it. It seemed it was like the 4th of July to the black guys. I certainly can understand why!
