It felt safe back in the fifties, even under the "Red Scare". <br />Not for blacks, of course; there were always the "Whites Only" signs. And the last time I was there with my family, in the late '70s, my older son was beaten up for making friends with a black girl. And of course, she got the worst of it. <br />And there were the homes for unwed mothers. I visited one in 1958. Such sadness and loneliness! And always the assumption that it was the girl's "fault".<br />It's gotten so much worse, though, in the last decade or so.
