[Publib] Re: More writing

[Babel, Elisa (DCPL)]

Two things came to mind as I read Joe's post.

Several years ago, I was watching a TV show on the History Channel.  One
story featured two classmates, both men, one black and the other white.
Both attended at the same Western grade school years before Brown v.
Board of Education.  The narrator explained their school was an anomaly,
one of a few schools that were integrated.  It wasn't a highly populated
locale.

 

One of the academic buildings at my MA Catholic alma mater had a fallout
shelter sign on the exterior wall.  It would've been normal for my dad
when he was there in the late '60s.  (Yep, I'm an alumna and a legacy
child at our alma mater-like father, like daughter) I'd see it whenever
I entered the building.  The basement housed faculty offices for the
psychology dept. This was in the early 2000s! It may still be there.
