Exiting the Military and Entering the 1960's

from The Memoir My Dad Wouldn't Write · host Treasure Shields Redmond

My father left the Marines with the intention of becoming a news man.  It was the dawn of the 1960's and print journalism was in its hey day. He became the first Black editor of his university's newspaper. There was also a "Newness" in Negro political thought.  My father attended the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and witnessed the birth of the U.S.'s most explosive decade.
