I was always jealous of the kids whose families went with them to activism. Had a black math teacher in 10th grade take his young child son to KKK rally "so he can see the faces of the men who hate him," and that stuck with me. My parents supported me, and as children of veterans, share my views and love for what America is supposed to be about striving towards, but simple blue collar union Americans - not hippies or anything.
These days, so different. I dont even want to risk it on my own for fear of being taken from my kid.
