The Algiers Motel

As I read on John Brown and race in America, I am now drawn to John Hersey's The Algiers Motel Incident.

We have forgotten what happened, and we have forgotten what continues to happen; we have forgotten what we were, and we have forgotten what we are.

In short, the enemy is ourselves. If we don't change willingly, we will be changed unwillingly, dragged kicking and screaming to our new future by a very unkind History.
