"What do people remember about Mark Twain? For one thing, they remember the stories he told. One that has stuck with me for a long time was about a boy faced with a conflict about doing the right thing.
The written rule was for Huck Finn to turn Jim in for being a runaway slave. But as Huckleberry came to terms with Jim’s humanity same as his own, he found his salvation, even though he was certain he’d have to go to Hell for it.
Where do we ever find such integrity as that even among our bravest adults?"
