Re: March With Me (8:11am April 9, 2013):

Born in 1957, I missed most of the 'excitement' of the 60's. I was raised in a small town in western Massachusetts in a military family. I did not encounter anyone of a different race until I was 8 years old. Although I do not consider my family to have been racist, we were very 'pro-government', which made whatever they did in Vietnam or Alabama in our best interests. Having been from New England and sharing a birthday with JFK, I became interested in his politics in my teens. I began to read all I could on the war in Vietnam and the Civil Rights movement. I still carry that with me 55 years later and am still enthralled with the time and the events. I would love to win a free copy of Ms. Turner's book, but if not, will probably head down the street to Barnes and Noble on the 15th if I am not selected.
