The fifties didn't feel angry to me, a kid growing up in the
south. We lived on a dirt road but the mail carrier got
through on all but the muddiest days and so my Tarzan and
Walt Disney comics were delivered. We had a TV that got all
three channels and the plumbing was indoors. I had never
seen, much less eaten a pizza but we raised cattle, turkeys,
chickens, pigs, pidgeons, and now and then a goat. So I
didn't go hungry. I've eaten many a pizza since those days
but never again have I had a tongue sandwich like the ones
mom sent me off to school with.
Yes, for a boy growing up in the south, the fifities were jes
fine, thank you very much. Oh, maybe I should mention I'm
white.
