I don't remember ever being segregated.
NM, CA, CO,OR,TX. We moved lots due to Daddy being an IBEW electrician. I went to over 20 schools but do not ever remember segregation. There were times I was one of a few white kids. Maybe that's why I feel so at ease with other nationalities.
I was born in 1947.
