Page 129 may contain the key sentence for this book. It hits me hard when I read, “I’ve been trying to tell white women the truth about working for them since I was fourteen years old.” Truth for Miss Skeeter means one thing—a chance to develop a career, get published, more on. Truth for Aibileen and Minny is convoluted, valued and yet something to fear. In response to this week’s reading, would you please reflect on the positive and negative impacts of truth in your life?
You will also notice in this week’s ready the many layers of prejudice. Please comment about the one that stands out to you? Do you find this prejudice in your setting? If you do, how do you deal with it?
