Examples Of Social Injustice In To Kill A Mockingbird
Have you ever been discriminated against because of your skin color? The title of the book we read in this class was To Kill A Mockingbird. The author is Harper Lee. There is a black man accused of rape. He is in a white court. In the 1930s, white man’s word is better than a black man’s word. In our society, also in To Kill A Mockingbird, there are many social inequalities.
One injustice in To Kill A Mockingbird is racism. You see racism in Tom Robinson’s court case. Atticus makes it clear that Tom is not guilty. Since the jury was all white, they convict Tom. “ In our court, when it’s a white man’s word against a black man’s word, the white man always wins” (Pg.295). This is a perfect example of racism. Since the jury was white, Tom was convicted.
