Do you think the so called greatest generation was really so great?

It was and it wasn't.

In terms of race equality and women's rights, while it was better than previous generations, it was NOT great.

I was born roughly seven years after the war. I grew up in a peaceful rural place and it was great for me and our family.

Had I been born to an African American family, I think life would have been different - maybe far different.
