I was not around in the 60s but I can tell by this book times were sometimes tough for all. This book is about racial tension in the 1960’s usually from teenage boys point of view. I don’t really understand the times myself having not lived them but I did and still do feel bad for some of America’s past. I think we are working every day to help improve racial attitudes. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* 4/5
