A lot of my friends attended the Ethical Culture Society. That wasn't hard. However the only other people who seemed to agree, and to want to do anything about it, were socialists and communists, so of course I became a socialist too. I was around and active during the Vietnam War and before. I think there's still healing needed.
Truth IS a great healer.
No one's ever asked for an account of my experiences. I'll start and also add some random memories that just occur to me. I think the movements evolved from each other. I became aware of civil rights issues when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I remember that one of his friends killed himself because he couldn't get a job to support his family after being called before the committee.
