A good perspective. This made me think of the 1950s, a time many refer to as the good ole days. However, if you were a black person in the South during this time, you were segregated from the white population: restaurants, movie theaters, schools, buses, drinking fountains, etc. Furthermore, there was a fear of being lynched if you were accused of something. Your peers on the jury were typically white men. Yes, I don't think black people in the South during the 1950s would refer to this time period as the good ole days.
Every period of history has its good and its evil. Itis important to understand these in relation to the present and to have a stable foundation of truth to evaluate our current challenges. Thanks for your comment.
