I enjoyed reading your memories. One thought that struck me since I've been working on the panel Race Relations in America is the animal instinct we all possess which I call the Pecking-Order Mentality. The way we look at people (or countries) and think, "I'm stronger/more successful/better" than that one. It's a mentality we need to get past in order to improve race, gender, and perhaps economic conditions. It's not impossible for most people....just not instinctive.
