No, it was in my lifetime, it was still happening when I was 12, and it made an enormous impact on me seeing all those hate-filled faces! Later those same faces jeered and spat at Catholic children going to school in N. Ireland. The effect of seeing this hatred and discrimination has stayed with me all my life and I hope I have shown my children and grandchildren that all human beings are equal and deserving of respect. Thank you for sharing.
