The Flammable 60s
If you were old enough to read a newspaper in the early 1960s, what you read could be frightening. For readers not that old, I'll try to "set the stage" as simply as possible.
NOTE: In 1964, news media could be blunt. The phrases "hate speech" and "politically correct" had yet to be coined. News reports often quoted people verbatim, no matter how vehement or offensive their language was.
