        I was 16 when the murders happened. The night of the Bronco chase, I was packing to leave for the high school debate national tournament.

        I remembered the darkened Time cover. I remembered Ito and Kato and Fuhrman. I remembered the glove. I remembered a sense of racial divide.

        But, it was my senior year of high school — and my last summer at home — and I was a privileged white boy in the Midwest. It seemed distant.

        It also was the summer that I was figuring out my own life and starting to come out. All of this seemed very distant, indeed.

        The next thing I really remember is being asleep in my dorm room at American University in October when the verdict came down.

        Then, in a city, in a far more diverse (if privileged) environment, the debate also was more diverse, the voices at times heated.

        But, I definitely don't think I saw even 1/3 of all that was going on. I was not yet thinking about these issues as deeply as I do today.

        More importantly, I hadn't heard enough — I hadn't listened enough — to understand.

        Watching that snapshot of what was happening in 1994–95 through the lens I use to look at things today is striking.

        It makes me all the more grateful for the opportunities I've had to expand my vision—and the scope of my knowledge—over the past 22 years.

        tl;dr: The show is excellent, really takes you there. Sarah Paulson is amazing; John Travolta is remarkably good, as is Courtney Vance.
