I am the actual bluesky stereotypical 38 year-old and my parents were in school during integration, this is not ancient history!
The middle school I went to was the old black school in town, it even had (has?) an old championship banner in the gym from the pre-1970 teams.

Me and the family went to downtown Chicago over Labor Day weekend.
We walked the streets, played in parks, and rode public transportation the whole time.
Never felt unsafe or even uncomfortable. The city was absolutely beautiful and we had a great time.

I was born and raised less than 30 minutes from there and never knew about the Hamburg Massacre until long after I finished college.
