It must be a good thing that I consciously remember the riots when I teach about equality. I may not specifically reference them because the children I teach are too young and too far away but I remember them and the causes.<br /><br />I love the photo. Times have changed.

It was an interesting discussion and a sad, scary time. There were a few small demonstrations in the Bay Area, where I went to school. <br /><br />I was so shocked by the video, but also upset that such a thing could happen in my idealistic view of the American country I adopted as my own. <br /><br />My maternal side of the family lives in your area! it is an interesting part of town. I always feel like I'm visiting Korea, since I've never been to Korea myself!Bea, OThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301207485195668332noreply@blogger.com
