Of War and Pets

I found an old cassette tape in my mother’s belongings after she died and I recently converted it into an mp3 file. The 1970 recording is me at the age of six discussing the Vietnam War. It was a weighty subject for a young child, but my family was very politically active and even took me on a peace march in D.C. during which the crowd was sprayed with tear gas, so I had some context.
