Protests: Young generation makes sweet music

It was interesting to see protesters in Gig Harbor’s Uptown area a few days ago.

Many mostly young men and women in their 20s were holding up signs like “Black Lives Matter,” full of youth and enthusiasm.

And those with Trump flags and signs were middle-aged or old men looking rather glum.

Bob Dylan’s “The Times They are a-changin’ ”came to mind.
