Some good, some bad. I know you were only young and inexperienced. It's the same today...equal rights for all...not special rights. That's what we all want. xo, SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009295377264536178.post-21041724240140328842012-08-03T08:27:37.770-06:002012-08-03T08:27:37.770-06:00I remembering hearing about Watts but I had no ide...I remembering hearing about Watts but I had no idea of what caused it or even how long it lasted.

You were forced to grow up then I think...and to see the greater world around you. I hope it brought you to a place different from the racism you were brought up with. I am getting from reading this that you were. That you learned to like and respect those African American women in the beds next to yours, who had suffered the losses of their babies too...who lost or may have lost a husband, a home in those terrible riots.

Keep writing. This is an important story to be told for many, many reasons.Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.com
