“Also,” said one of the INSURGENT slaves, “many anti-racism activists have tried to use Capacianism to try to prevent racism by exposing what it looked like in the past. However, Capacianism is centered around recreating the past, not analyzing the past to move forward into the present, as Michael observed, so it is difficult to use Capacianism for anti-racism campaigns. In addition, I think it actually hinders current anti-racism movements, because although racism has its roots in the past, civil rights Capacianists only acknowledge the impacts of racism in the past, but they fail to acknowledge its impacts TODAY, making Michael’s observation even more relevant. We could learn from history, sure, and prevent mistakes made in history, but what about the mistakes made in the present?”

“Desperate to hide himself away, he quickly grabbed a book, any book at all, from the shelf. "The Highway Code and Theory Test for Car Drivers". Well, he certainly hadn't been looking for that. It wasn't even a novel, though it might come in handy for his granddaughter Priya's driving theory test in six years' time. Reluctant to admit defeat, determined to pretend he didn't need the librarian's guidance anyway, he sat down at a table and started to read: "Introduction: The Highway Code is essential reading for everyone." "Oh, Naina," he said, out loud. "What am I doing here?" Someone, hidden away in the corner, sushed him quite aggressively and his head jumped up in fright. How long did he need to wait here for it not to look as though he'd made a silly mistake? It was obvious he wouldn't be taking a driving test any time soon!”
