Ahh..the crinkly sound plastic covered furniture made when one was allowed to actually sit on it..which was usually around Easter..or Christmas..or in the presence of "company." Makes me remember "shadow boxes." Seems every home had one back in the day..filled with little "trinkets"..I'll be back to read and listen more...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-52118245164843801712011-04-19T19:44:33.784-07:002011-04-19T19:44:33.784-07:00Great post - brought back memories for me too.

Also lower-middle class white, large family, but we all have done well with our lives.<br />Nice tributes to the ones who had a positive influence on your life.<br /><br />James makes a good point about the "programs to help". We were raised to put prejudice aside & wished for blacks to succeed like everyone else - integration & equal opportunity for all - rising tide lifts all boats, etc. What the hell went wrong?alan markushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376679777650939602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-44531747383335276232011-04-19T17:53:35.895-07:002011-04-19T17:53:35.895-07:00I keep coming back here, Crack, despite our many d...I keep coming back here, Crack, despite our many differences, because you are such a wonderful writer.

Although I grew up lower-middle White rather than foster/group-home Black, I remember a lot of the same things you mentioned, and also how quickly and totally things changed in just a few short years.<br /><br />Two REALLY old memories: <br />1) Being two years old, and standing with a huge crowd at the railing on Santa Monica's Palisades Park, as my parents told me *The President* was below on PCH (JFK was in town, visiting brother-in-law Peter Lawford's beach house);<br />2) A year later, when JFK was shot. My parents had the TV on all weekend and I begged for them to turn it off, since the news was making them cry.Skorpionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-23307251355192477002011-04-19T11:03:38.575-07:002011-04-19T11:03:38.575-07:00In my friends' living room you could see the f...In my friends' living room you could see the furniture movers foot prints on the carpet a year later.<br />Yes I can remember the 60's here in Texas. Didn't know alot of black people personally until the army, but I remember they had conventional communities businesses, churches,families,etc all destroyed by "programs to help".Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.com
