I've never read it. I went to public schools in Jackson, MS post-segregation.

Naw, we can't read a lick.

It mirrored the times.
Harper Lee is Southern
In fact, she was a playmate of Truman Capote's.

Pardon the vanity, but since there seem to be a lot of Freepers who are southerners Indeed....we are "tolerated".

Yes they do. My kids had to read it and do reports on it. Freeper Alkhin was in the play about a year ago, in Houston area theater, Ft. Bend county.

Yea, we read it back in the '70s, in Texas.
It has some slams on the South, or on the way things were done in the South back then, but mostly it is a story of a man with great personal integrity who has to go against the mainstream for what he knows is right.
The part where the Sheriff spares Bo from being a hero is also significant. The boy wants no attention and the Sheriff spares him that.
(If I made any mistakes here, forgive me. It's been 30+ years since they made me read it.)

I am old enough to have seen "White" and "Colored" signs.
We got rid of that. We kept the good stuff and trashed the cr-p. It was not easy and it came at a high price. It was worth it.
The South is stronger than ever and as beautiful as it ever could be.

Atticus Finch comes off as a very good man and he is quite clearly very southern. His attitude is one of fairness and I don't think that's a rare commodity anywhere among ordinary people in this country.
