This post speaks to how naive I was as a pre-teen as much as anything else.
I went to the 1964 New York Worlds Fair, but was totally unaware at the time of the protests connected to it.
(Note Alabama is not even listed in this flyer. Not sure what that means...1964 featured Freedom Summer...and Alabama was certainly in the middle of that.)
Read the protest story in The Guardian HERE.
This April 22nd marks the 55th Anniversary of the protest.
