Examples Of Racism In To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird is a very good representation of the theme of racism, this is why the piece was selected. An example of racism in To Kill a Mockingbird is the house keeper. The Finchs are white and the housekeeper is black. Black people were in a low class of society. Characters in the novel attend an all coloured church because, blacks and whites were not seen together in public. The final and most evident example of racism is during the trial of Tom Robinson, he was a black man accused of raping a white women. The community believed that black people allows went against the community’s rules so he pleaded guilty, not because he committed the crime but purely out of racism. A connection that can be made to this text is a news article
that was just released, stating that black men are sentenced to more time for committing the exact same crime as a white person. I learned that racism is going to take a very long time to be completely gone but we have come along way since this text was released.
