I lived in Chi during the riots No body was right back then but as it is today the media showed what would sell paper tv time and the rest. There weren't any inteligent people that wanted riots. I grew up on the south side of Chi. where it all took place. My dad was from Salma AL. where they had a march. It was a shame the people had to fight for there natural born rights. I don't know what its like in schools today I can only hope its better than it was in the late 50s.
I grew up in Danville, about 100 miles south of ChiTown. We didn't have major problems in the '60s, but my wife is from Detroit, and her dad sold the family restaurant after the riots, and moved west.

Things are different in Tucson. I noticed it when I started working here. Much more diversity, and generally (other than the normal human discomfort with anyone different) we get along pretty good. We have asian, black, Indian, white and hispanic in my "hood", and are all friendly.
