      I've been busy this month, so just caught this @washingtonpost article about a new historical retrospective (which quotes my dad, a newsman who was present in the front row at Malcolm X' assassination)https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/02/26/malcolm-x-didnt-fear-being-killed-i-live-like-a-man-who-is-dead-already/?utm_term=.3f72dcdf4b56 …

      You couldn't get a TV job if you were black, then. My dad worked in radio, which is why his station broke the news. My dad ran outside and did a live broadcast from a phone booth, then came back to take eye-witness interviews.

      Sometimes you think your dad is just a normal dad-guy and then you grow up and realize what a thing your dad in particular lived through.

      He went on to become CBS' first ever black anchorman, and a press secretary to Bobby Kennedy. His career was "a little intense."

          I'm certain I remember your dad from his WCBS days. Wow, small world (and extraordinary dad).
