I hope this is not forgotten by the next generation.

I have a similar hope over what I have learned, late in life, about the racism the USA's history so painfully includes. It's not any older than the D-Day memories the media tried to keep focus on, with "The Greatest Generation" material of recent years.

It's always interesting to me (really, I just mean interesting) how we can feel so strongly that "X is in the past, let's move ON!" while "X just happened, we must remember!!!"-- over things that took place at the same time on the timeline. It's just weirdly human.
