I was in high school from 65-68, then after a year of this and that nothing job, I joined the Navy. So I was right there in the middle of segragation, Viet Nam, LSD, Andy Warhohl, Jack Kerovac, Wolfman Jack, hippies, Dr. Timothy Leary, free love, Amos & Andy, Lenny Bruce, flower children, Woodstock etc. I was there when Jerry Levias became the first black to play football in the old SWC. I was there when Bobby Mitc became the first black Washington Redskin and Syracuses Ernie Davis became the first black to win the Heisman. If anyone would have told me back then that someday we'd have a black president, I would have questioned their sanity, that could never ever happen.
This really is something about as far as there as it gets.
