In "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd, the narrator reflects on their evolving perspective regarding racial harmony. Initially, they believed that the primary goal was for white people and people of color to coexist peacefully. This viewpoint emphasizes the importance of relationships and understanding between different races. However, a transformative realization leads the narrator to advocate for a more profound change: the idea that a truly harmonious society would involve everyone transcending color altogether. This shift emphasizes a shared humanity that goes beyond superficial differences, suggesting that real unity comes from recognizing and celebrating our commonalities rather than focusing on racial distinctions.
