It's interesting that black Boomers can admit this while white Boomers take umbrage:
The Civil Rights Generation made massive progress, but in many ways they dropped the ball. While they made it clear that there was work to be done, too many of them did not choose those who would do it. Too much energy and focus has been placed on one or two people, and we need cohorts of the next generation to work together.
The Baby Boom Generation (mine) has dropped the ball as well. We have been beneficiaries of the Civil Rights Generation, but we have not passed our largess or our lessons on.
Too, too, correct:
The generations after the Baby Boom are poor for a reason - and it has little to do with us,...
