Twelve white men say a black man must die, and another white man sets the date and time without consulting one black person. a lesson before dying. justice (129)?

A quote from 1993 novel a Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines.

Explanation:

This novel looked at injustice resulting from racism.

In the context surrounding the statement made by the defence lawyer Grant Wiggins in a court with an all-white  male jury which convicts a black man named Jefferson after a short proceeding.

The novel portrayed the type of justice common in the deep South in those days.

the answer is subjective. i personally agree with the first answer for this question.

if one isn't strictly talking about objects then the correct answer would be 'my eyes' since according to this riddle i am asleep and in order to answer/open the door i need to open my eyes first of all.

however, if one is specifically looking for an object, then the first thing i would open would be the door

hope this !
