To Kill a Mockingbird

Book • 1960
Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a classic novel that explores themes of racial injustice, childhood innocence, and moral courage in the American South.

The story is narrated by Scout Finch, a young girl who witnesses the trial of Tom Robinson, a Black man falsely accused of a crime.

Lee's powerful storytelling captures the complexities of race relations in the Jim Crow South, highlighting the prejudice and injustice faced by Black people.

The novel's enduring appeal lies in its exploration of universal themes of empathy, compassion, and the importance of standing up for what is right.

It remains a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial equality in America.
