JIM CROW

I am a white man, 75 years old. I grew up in a small town in rural Virginia. I remember Jim Crow.

I remember schools, "separate but equal". Public transportation, "Colored to back of the bus". Water fountains, "White Only". Movie theaters, "Colored in balcony only". Restaurants, "White only". And the litany goes on and on.

In my lifetime, just a speck in history, I have seen profound change. We must make this change work for the betterment of all.
