I'm a senior citizen from CT, and remember his death, Robert Kennedy's death. I was young and ignorant of racism. This was an eye-opener to me. All the riots in the south in the 60's. I digress. I subscribe to 'pushing the envelope blog'. The owner of the site, Jean Wilson of Iowa, posted on Jan. 15, that the eighth graders of a Danville, Iowa school were try to make a 'difference' and started a project by collecting postcards (mine is in the mail). Here is the post link if you're interested (scroll down for the article): <br />http://pushingtheenvelopes.blogspot.com/2018/01/snowy-day-and-anne-franks-iowa-penpal.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PushingTheEnvelopes+%28pushing+the+envelopes%29<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and link this address to your Simplicity blog. <br /><br /><br />I MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337549218589070108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432615092204334311.post-63445028200602578412018-01-15T16:06:26.947-05:002018-01-15T16:06:26.947-05:00My husband and I just had a similar conversation. ...My husband and I just had a similar conversation. He is the varsity basketball coach at our little private school. He is planning on having a conversation with his boys today about how lucky they are. How they need to treat everyone as equal and treat everyone as deserving. He brought up the point the when MLK was protesting for rights, our boys would not have been able to go games in the same vehicle as their black teammates. They would have not been allowed to stop and eat at the same restaurants on the way to/from games. <br />Our children in our little school do not know what it is like to be fighting to get out of the hate. But, they may play teams made up of boys that do. It is up to them to treat those boys with respect.
