Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThe year was 1965, and we were all ready to get out into the world. What a world it was! Baltimore City was booming with industry, and jobs were plentiful. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 opened up opportunities for us that our parents didn't have. The Vietnam War was calling up our generation to serve as soon as we graduated and consumed so many lives. Demonstrations were everywhere for everything. It was an exciting yet tumultuous time. Fast forward 60 years to Saturday, October 25, 2025, as my class met at Martin's West for our 60th reunion. It was difficult to get folks to leave the action to come up to a suite to record their thoughts, but eight classmates did so. My thanks to Michael Levy Cheatam, Frank Long, Janice Graham Taylor Solomon, Nathaniel T. Oaks, Maxine Tuck Turnipseed, Juanita Hudson Bellamy, Gregory Evans, and James Hicks for sharing their time with me.Make every moment count!
