CHECK OUT BLOG FOR "LOOKING BACK: BOOMERS REMEMBER HISTORY"

I'm constantly updating the blogs for "Looking Back" so that readers can gain even more knowledge about the eras that were written about in the book. You can find the blogs at either: http://boomersrememberhistory.blogspot.com or at http://lookingbackboomersrememberhistory.blogspot.com.

The latest blogs are about the integration crisis at Central High School in 1957, which has been in the news a lot lately because this year marks its 50th anniversary. I was a student there, so I've added more personal thoughts about the crisis than appear in the book about that important moment in civil rights history. My sister was one of the "lost" students who found herself without a high school to attend the following year, and received her lessons in front of the television for awhile until a church affiliated school was started in our neighborhood. She attended that school until Central High was reopened in the fall of 1959, and she graduated from Central in 1960.
