re: #81 Gus

I was thinking recently. About progress and coexistence. Racism. The march to Selma happened within my lifetime. The Civil Rights Act, Stonewall. Within my lifetime. During my parents lifetime there was the Holocaust and the savagery of WWII. Slavery finally ended during the later half of the 19th century. A stone’s throw away from us.

It’s crazy to me to think that I saw the fall of the Berlin Wall on television. Now, I don’t really remember that much of it, and I certainly didn’t realize how important it was, but that was a mind-boggling shift in history.
