To Kill a Mocking bird

            Our country, the good USA has evolved into a wonderful place where everyone has the freedom to do as please with their lives, but of course within the means of the law. Unfortunately it has not always been the case, because black people were slaves in the early development of our country. They were deprived of their freedom and treated poorly with no rights at all. Even after slavery was abolished people still were prejudice against black. Sorrowfully prejudice has caused many people pain and suffering and though slavery was outlawed people were still suffering. Even policymakers did not comply in accordance with the law. The policymakers still punish the innocent (blacks) and let the guilty (whites) go free. If an innocent black person was accused of a crime, that person was automatically guilty because of his/her color and not based on evidence. Prejudice was not only directed towards blacks, but also against those who were different and those who stood up for what they believed. .
             One good example of these injustices blacks suffer is a movie named "To kill a Mockingbird," where prejudice is a prime cause of grief and agony for many not just blacks. In this movie a man called Mr. Robinson was discriminated against by whites. He was an innocent man accused of attacking a white woman (Mrs. Ewells). Mr. Atticus was the criminal defender for Mr. Robinson, in his case he proved with out a reasonable thought that Mr. Robinson was innocent and the charges against him were fabricated. But, since the alleged victim, judges and jury were white, Mr. Robinson did not stand a chance, he was found guilty as charged and sent to prison for a crime he did not commit. One other person that was treated unfairly is Calpurnia; the housekeeper of Atticus, Aunt Alexandra tried to get Atticus to fire Calpurnia, because she believed Calpurnia was not a good female role model for his two children. Aunt Alexandra was been racist against Calpurnia, because of her color and for capacity to care of the children; she was as good of a role model as Aunt Alexandra, if not better.
