Journalism Professor Traces Media References to Race - Hamden, CT Patch
Frank Harris III was only a kid back in the 1960s, growing up in a northern suburb of Chicago. But he recalls the cultural changes happening during that tumultuous era – changes in how Americans viewed the Vietnam War, changes in how young people related to authority figures, and changes in civil rights, especially for blacks and other racial and ethnic minorities. Those civil rights enhancements were made possible through landmark federal legislation that prohibited racial segregation and de facto denial of voting rights.
