When did you last have to change a prejudiced opinion?

Have you ever decided on something and then had to admit you were wrong? When and what was it? This question came up for me because I’ve been very vocal about not wanting to read To Kill a Mockingbird’s prequel – Go Set a Watchman. I decided I had to read it because I will be leading a discussion this Spring. While it is not a great novel, I found it surprisingly moving and honest. It was, perhaps, truer to Harper Lee’s feelings than the beautiful but sentimental Mockingbird and has made me revise my opinions of both books. And Atticus is still Atticus, just a bit less saintly.

Anyway, it raised this question in my mind and I thought I would throw it out here..
