It’s evident that the times have changed. People have changed. The once
hippy, peaceful we don’t want war generation has turned in to the say how
you feel so let’s go to war about it. I’m going to give you a few examples of
how our world is changing and has changed some for the good and better,
some for the not so good or better. Let’s go back to the year 1960. 1960 was a
very up beat time that just so happens to be the year my mother was born. 1965

confusion in the African American community but also around the United
