"The twenty-first century has brought a fear and unwillingness to look at racism in a deep, systematic manner. The hedonistic desire to avoid pain (or anything uncomfortable) is counter to our method of directly confronting the ugly legacy of racism."

Rereading one of my favorite books for just about the 8th time. This time around, I'm going to read it through and then read some relavent non-fiction to better understand the Antebellum and Reconstruction periods (because hey, I'm a nerd like that.) Thoroughly enjoying myself with Scarlett all over again!

My mentor asked me to help her run a short workshop on this book later this month, so off to read it carefully I go. 😊
