1. It was happening all over the country at the same time. Even here in Nowhere'sville, Texas ...

In one night black families were driven out of Marble Falls and Kingsland (just 12 miles up the road). Put them on the train and packed them off to Austin.

4. Heard first-hand stories all my life.

My dad was 16 and working there then! Had multiple family reunions in 1961 so the old-timers could relive those days.

5. Did it scar your dad in any way? I couldn't

imagine being there and seeing it and not being able to stop it.

Reveled in it mostly. Unfortunately!
