Mark Tramontin:  You know, it’s interesting, I think at that time, you had begun to see it as the schools were more and more integrated, the Black students really decided to -- they understood it was time to take a stand, it was time to -- you know, they realized what’s going on here is integrated, but it ain’t fair.  I can even remember some of the groups finally getting together and really realizing that, “Yeah, we’re together, but we’re not equal.  We’re not getting a fair shake here.”  And they weren’t.  I mean that’s the bottom line.  And whatever they were given, once again, it was -- in things like history classes, I can only imagine.  I can remember in history class being appalled as a white guy, I can only imagine what it was for an African American to have to read the crap that was in these history books.
