Things are quite different when you are there. We sit here in the safety of our computer room saying what should have been.

I lived in a city housing project till I was 13. My dad an injured WWII vet increased his income through hard work. By high school we had moved in to a upper middle class neighborhood. I recall in high school 1968, the subject of race, came up. The riots were not where we lived but in the cities. I offered a tour of where I used to live. Of course,
I was shut up.

How many times do we hear people say I don't go there. I have lived there and was glad to get out.
