From previous messages it seems like both you and I were kids in 1963 in New York. The beat down of the black sailor in the middle of Grand Central seemed unbelievable. I don't think things like that happened then in New York City, don't recall ever hearing about it and certainly didn't read it in "current events" in school. I'm pretty certain my parents would have mentioned something as well.

Does that coincide with your recollection as well?
