I started school in the 70's, in the south, when the forced busing era began. Being (off) white, that meant I rode a bus for an hour, to a school in the ghetto, and went to school with a bunch of black kids from the projects. I was allowed to attend kindergarten in my neighborhood, but rode the bus in first grade.

my dad went to highschool when they started integrating schools, crazy amounts of tension I would imagine. Before that he had never gone to school with a black person. Obviously
