Mr Sandman: Behind the Formica

A look at life in the America of the 1960s – through the window of suburbia’s twitching curtains. A time of exodus from the cities to the suburbs by the middle class, aspirational whites – resulting in the divisions already present between the races, becoming chasmic.

The violence and hatred oozed forth from the sceptic and suppurating vitriol.

The hope of change tantalisingly promised by both Kennedy brothers – destroyed. Their murders, along with those of Martin Luther King and Malcom X, put the seal on the urn and laying any hope of genuine reparation and integration to an uneasy resting place on the mantelpiece of history and promise.
