In this setting he experienced America’s social transformation. During this time social change peaked and civil disobedience was a source of individual pride. His educational system was segregated until he reached high school in 1969. In ninth grade he flunked English and had to take summer courses to pass to the next grade. During this time in American history, original artistic music, art, and literature flourished. As a teenager he experienced firsthand the threat of nuclear annihilation, the passage of segregation, equal rights, the first moon landing, the Hippie Movement, rock and roll, the Vietnam War, and America’s political crisis that resulted in the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X. All of these personal experiences resulted in the writing of this book. Jack is currently a hairless baby boomer who lives on the eastern shore of Maryland with two cats named Tinker and Willy.visualizza meno
