When Harper Lee published To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960, America stood at a crossroads. The Civil Rights Movement was gaining momentum, yet much of the nation clung to Jim Crow laws and segregationist policies. Lee’s novel, set in 1930s Alabama, held up a mirror to mid-century America. The Corruption of Justice At the heart of To Kill a Mockingbird is a trial everyone knows is rigged. Tom Robinson, a Black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, faces a legal system desi
