I was in 5th grade when JFK was killed. It was awful. I felt so violated and unsafe, just like on 9-11.
My take on the sixties: hardly anyone in the deep South saw anything but hippie wannabes. I taught at Auburn in the eighties and couldn't tell that anything had changed from the early seventies...the protests, etc., that a lot of the country saw back then hardly brushed any of the large public Southern universities. If anyone tried to stage a sit-in or whatever, the students would basically ignore them or walk right over them so people who had a serious message to spread went elsewhere.
