3. Remember this line. =

"But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together"

Amen.

4. The Aeschylus verse he offered is enormous.

"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God."
