4. Many sources promoted brotherhood and equality while I was growing up

That was in the 50s and 60s. I was in a Cleveland suburb that was virtually all white. We got a lot of messages in our school to get along with others. It seems theoretical, because the only black person I ever met was a black nurse who came to the house to give my great aunt a Vitamin B shot. We all liked her and I've never forgotten her.

I've heard stories about famous actors insisting on having black singers, dancers and actors in their movies. Individuals will try to celebrate diversity, institutions not so much.

Thank you for the positive post.
