Whatโ€™s something you remember from your childhood that a younger person from the current generation may not understand?

Linda Wofford, Houston

The original Little Rascals, stage planks, and being home before those street lights came on.

Gloria Frazier, Winston Salem, N.C.

Watching “Soul Train,” going to the Apollo Theater, and New York subway trains were pretty safe to ride at any hour.

Julius Davis, Charleston, S.C.

“Speed Racer” and Wonder Twins!

Merele Wilder, Columbus, Ohio

Saturday morning cleaning, cartoons and “Soul Train”!

Tammy Robinson, Washington, D.C.

Watching “Fat Albert” and “Soul Train” on Saturday mornings and “Schoolhouse Rock” while me and my sisters cleaned up the house.
