    I could not agree more!

    I found more photos from that event: historycollection.com/26-photo

    It was good to scroll thru them.

    I was about five years older than the kid at the top of this photo. You can tell that they were glad to be part of a whole. And it was a hopeful time... we were getting our act together. We were righting wrongs. For context, these are the things that were on my mind at that time...

    The first #Oil #Crisis 🛢️
    #Watergate 🕵️
    #Racism and the #CivilRights Movement ✊🏾
    The #VietnamWar (I was subject to the draft.) 🪖
    The #ColdWar with its attendant #Nuclear Dread 🤯

    My friends and I were particularly concerned about protecting the #Environment 🌲 , tried to avoid cars, and rode our #bicycles everywhere. 🚴

    So what about the #Semiquincentennial? Let's say it's a celebration deferred. We need to get our act together, we need to right some wrongs, we need to start feeling AND acting like a whole again.

    We've made a start, we can do it, and when we're on the right track again I'll be there with you all to celebrate! 💕 🇺🇸
