“Just because you’re taught that something’s right and everyone believes it’s right, it don’t make it right.”

This quote I know was in the movie, but I can't find it in the book.

I'm not a hundred percent sure it even is.

If you know where in the book it is or if it is I'd greatly appreciate the info!!!

Anybody know where this quote is in the book???

It's Jim talking to Huck about slavery!

I just tried searching an e-text of the book for the quote...without results. Would be quite difficult anyway due to Jim's accent.

I've also tried searching the e-text, which really works best if you only enter one word, but haven't found it.
