I have shared this story with students of all ages in schools, churches, and Boys & Girls Clubs. It is a story about civil rights unrest, President Kennedy’s assassination, and teenage traumas. Those events triggered my conversation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. With the publication of my book, I will be able to share it with the world.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I hope that Rabbi Rubenstein’s generosity towards me and Dr. King’s message will also inspire you.
As a teenager in 1963, I thought about freedom and equality and began to understand that my life was easier—much easier—than lives lived by kids who were not white. I know now that some white, middle class kids at that time paid attention to the Civil Rights Movement and saw the different realities, some did not. I was removed from the heat and heart of the Civil Rights Movement, but I was curious about it, wanted to learn more, and be part of it because I understood about “what’s fair.” Like all Americans, I witnessed an important time in our country’s history.
