We seem to remember the awful cases from that period. But nobody ever mentions the ones that weren't so awful.

I was there for one such. I worked very hard to ensure that the new black students coming to my high school felt welcome and befriended. I think it worked. I'm sure we didn't do everything just right. But the entire integration experience was pretty much incidentless and quiet. I've been proud of that all my life. Not all was bad in those days.
