Sadly, more than likely true. In 1968, a soldier from my hometown in South Georgia was killed in Vietnam. A black soldier served as a pall bearer. While in town, he was refused entrance to a local "whites only" restaurant. Believe you me, this made an impression on a 12 year old and a lot of other people. From that time on, our family did not frequent the door of that establishment. BTW, my parents were Republican (another oddity in South Georgia in 1968) and not at all liberal, just human.

As conservative Jewish commentator Dennis Prager says "there are two races of humans:
the decent and the indecent".
You were lucky; your parents were members of the decent race.
