But if you are a person of color, a woman who values gender equality or an L.G.B.T. person, would you want to go back to 1963?

I'm old enough to remember 1963 as a time when a young boy could ride his bike all though a section of a city where I as a grown man would now be uncomfortable walking unarmed.

A time when the black murder rate was much smaller than now, when we didn't have near as many drug deaths, when a woman could feel safer.

This comment reminds me of a time when I had just gotten out of the service & went to visit a relative in a Chicago suburb. Drove for many miles through black neighborhoods & was never threatened in any way. This was in 1960. I am white.
