I saw it a long time ago. But yeah that sort of thing wasn’t common at at that time at all. And of course there’s also 1947’s ‘Pinky’ about a light skinned black woman passing as white. But the less said about that the better.
Rumor has it Truman Capote really wrote most of To Kill A Mockingbird because he was so grateful to Harper Lee for being kind to him as a child. The character of Dill was based on Capote.
