"Where were you when..." No. 3 (6)
Can't remember where I was, and don't regret not remembering. All I remember is that in my opinion America was not the place I particularly cared to live in, because of all these problems between whites and blacks.
I was a wee wee school girl - that year is in my memory with sadness because my Grandparents died in a terrible car crash..
Also I remember that the Television showing then some movies about the Ku Klux clan - frightening the hell out of me..
I lived in Germany with my parents ... the times of the first TV set the first Car - the first holiday´s in Italy .. das Wirtschaftswunderkind..

It was my first year in college and I didnt know much about anything..even though I was brandishing Mao's redbook and demonstrating against the Vietnam war. I faintly remember the event and only much later came to understand its significance. Those years India itself was electrified by a bloody revolutionary movement led largely by Maoist students called 'Naxalites'. Events in the western world hardly intruded upon our consciousness so absorbed were we by events in our own world.
anyone remembers meantime?
