If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that correcting an old wrong, a wrong based in racism, would at a minimum show up as a black mark on your annual performance review and which could very easily cost you your job (under a different excuse, of course!) -- would you have the character and integrity to correct the wrong?

I'm not talking about a wrong that is actionable in court, nothing that simple, but a wrong all the same. A wrong that was and could continue to be hidden away as a dirty little secret. You could let it slide and keep a very nice job in a very nice place and no one would ever know.... Especially if other jobs were hard to get and you were one of the "over 50" crowd.

I knew of just such a situation. Real life, not a classroom exercise.

What would you do -- not what you hope you would do, but what WOULD you do?
