A few years back when my style was 'punk grandma ' I picked up an amazing pair of sandals - orthopaedic ones with really thick soles. I've given them away to a friend now because these days my look is more '1980s substitute teacher gone wild.'
When I was teaching in the 1960s in Boston there was a great deal of hope in the air. Martin Luther King Jr. was alive Malcolm X was alive great great leaders were emerging from the southern freedom movement.
