59. As a white woman who grew up in Miami in the '50s,
I can definitely say it was a whole lot worse then. I remember segregated bathrooms, drinking fountains, blacks having to sit in the back of the buses, not being allowed into white restaurants, and segregated schools. When I attended school, there were no blacks. I also remember riding the bus one day and a black man got on the bus and sat in the front and the bus driver would not move the bus until he went to the back. You can't say that it is worse now.
