It was true for me from 4 to 14 in a small Midwestern town in the fifties. Probably not so much for a black kid of the same age growing up in Mississippi or Alabama.

Good point, Ed. So much of history is filtered through the eyes of and passed down by the white majority, as well as academic elites. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie
Selma next month for another perspective. The book and movie
The Help similarly provided different insights.
