My mom was a bit set in her ways. I wouldn't call it prejudiced but she felt races shouldn't intermingle with each other. However, she would oppose the segregation of whites and blacks in school, using water fountains, etc. I do remember my sister's kindergarten class picture with a few African American children. Two years later my brother's with 30% African American children and mine a year later with only a handful of Caucasian children. We lived where there were projects and some African Americans slowly worked their ways out of them and started buying into neighborhoods similar to where we lived. Property values went down as a result, which is sad when looking back on it.<br /><br />Fast forward to the year 2017. DIL is a lady of color and the wee one is biracial. When taking him shopping, we get lots of smiles from people of all colors. So it is good times have changed. I'm just not 100% sure if my mom was still alive how she would have felt about it all.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-57795226601420165812017-08-26T19:58:29.744-04:002017-08-26T19:58:29.744-04:00Thoughtfully-presented, m'friend.

There was only one black student in my high school; and as far as I knew he never dated because (in '68) that wasn't done. <br /><br />We've come a long way, yes. But there's lots of tolerance to be learned ... by BOTH sides.
