Personal Reflections on 1965

Looking back at 1965, I remember my first job, delivering newspapers around the neighbourhood. It was a time of great change, with the impact of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the reaction to the Watts Riots shaping our community.

As a high school student, I witnessed firsthand the effects of these events on society and how they influenced my own perspective on the world around me.
