Keith Newman was born the year Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. It was the 1950s, when being called a Communist could ruin one’s livelihood. It was easy to see what issues would affect his life. In the 1960’s, as the author came of age, he watched on Television as Blacks and those who supported them, faced death by bombing, by burning, by assassination, as they campaigned for the right to vote. He watched the nation become divided as the United States entered the Vietnam War with large numbers of American casualties. Exposed to racists like George Wallace, war mongrels like Barry Goldwater, and outright deceit by Richard Nixon; Newman, instead of trusting the adults who ran his world, learned to “Question Authority.” This book is the story of that journey.
The events of this era and the culture they created, the wonderful music of the ‘60s and early ‘70s inspired Newman to become a History Teacher. He taught in both urban and rural environments. He and his wife of 38 years are now retired educators living in Maine with their two dogs; Maggie May and Layla: And their cat, Cinnamon Girl.
