| To Kill A Mockingbird.com | The best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," with its memorable characters - Atticus Finch, Scout, Jem, Dill and Boo Radley - are familiar to many in our culture. This site was commissioned to reflect the courtroom experience and Southern history Harper Lee gave to us so well. Some of Ms. Lee's childhood acquaintances served as models for the colorful personalities in the revered book concerning the struggle against racial injustice in the South during the 1930s. The site is now being maintained by the local 5th grade students who are becoming more immersed in our heritage by being a part of this legacy. (Two files) www.ToKillAMockingbird.com |
