I think the most realistic thing we can hope for—not that hope goes well with realism—is to tip the scale a little further toward reconciliation. At some point, perhaps there’ll be a cascade reaction.

There are certain people who are so set in their own ways that they will make reconciliation damn near impossible.

Most people don’t want to confront much of anything, so they launch these frustratingly passive-aggressive sideways blows. Or they obscure the truth the way it was by the rose-tinted glasses of romance and nostalgia.

I wonder if reconciliation is only possible through a new generation not versed in the same prejudices. Sometimes you can’t teach old dogs new tricks.

Some people at the Birmingham church are still fighting the Civil Rights Movement by a method that was outdated twenty-five years ago. Some people are still stuck in 1968.

And all I am left with is more questions.
