The only words Boo Radley spoke in "To Kill A Mockingbird"
"Will you take me home?"
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
This is, as always, entirely correct. Orwell has been indispensable for making sense of the last 80 years, never more so than today.
I was thinking along the same line. TKAM puts forth the notion that there are fair-minded whites, that they are not, as a race, hopelessly unredeemable, and that narrative cannot coexist alongside CRT.
