I was born in 1938 in Southern California - Sierra Madre
i evolved knowing early that catholic missionaries from Spain/Mexico covered the west coast romanticized in my childhood
way too late for me and reality i knew the effects of Mission+ history
way too late Our realities of Slavery
had i been born anywhere across the Canadian border - thru the midwest - south
I would have evolved knowing the Realities of our Indigenous Peoples
Slavery
Lots…
i did not until way too late
