As someone who lives in the UK there are so many aspects of American life that are hard to make sense of from a distance. Your detailed account of small town life has helped to fill some of the gaps for me.

Like you, I can remember growing up in the 50's and 60's mostly in a small town in the south. I didn't understand as a child why people acted the way they did towards others. Good people do things because that's the way they're taught though it doesn't make it right. We have come a long way and still have a long way to go in respect for one another's differences. That's what makes this country great and unique, our differences, and I have hope that we'll figure it out and continue to find ways to accept each other. Thank you for reminding us how we have learned and changed and showing us what we still need to do.

I think all of us who grew up in a small town can identify with your article. Just like everything else in life, there is no positive without a negative. The simplicity of small town life sometimes prevents the people who live there from being as socially "aware" as those living in large cities. I know that when I was growing up in a small town, I felt like the whole world was passing our town by. I watched the news, and saw the social unrest, the Viet Nam war, Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Neil Armstrong and all the other amazing events of the 1960's, but they seemed to have no affect on my town. I couldn't wait to leave that small town and join the rest of the world! I suppose that seeing the social changes in small towns, even as slow as the process is, that's how we know that we are progressing as a country. Thank you for a great article.
