Injustice In The Help

Injustice Thrives Injustice has been around for a long time, and will continue to be around if nobody does anything to stop or change it! Some people believe that injustice cannot be changed by just one person or group. Aunt Alexandra for example, says she loves and supports Atticus, but thinks he is crazy for trying to win the case. She does not think he would be able to convince a white jury that a black man is innocent. Others argue that one man or group can make a difference. Martin Luther King Jr. for example, started a peace movement to bring justice to African-Americans, and other racial groups, being served injustice. His movement still lives in today’s society, as injustice still thrives. It may seem difficult, but one person or group

In the movie The Help directed by Tate Taylor, Skeeter is able to make her mother feel regret for firing her maid Constantine, and in fact, her mother is so changed, she later stands up to further racist attempts to silence Skeeter. This shows that Skeeter uses her feelings along with her mother’s to make her mother feel guilty about firing her childhood maid. Constantine raised Skeeter, and for Skeeter’s Mom to fire her other mother figure, is pretty hard to take in. Especially because she fires her for no good reason, which alone shows the injustice.

First of all, a while ago an interracial couple from Virginia was banished from the state because of their marriage, so they took the issue to the Supreme Court. “ Mildred Loving, a black woman whose anger over being banished from Virginia for marrying a white man led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling overturning state miscegenation laws” (Martinmay 1). This shows that this couple was strong throughout their life, and they made it easier by defeating the injustice. Since they were married and were different races, it was illegal. They both saw it as unfair, especially since they were banned from Virginia just because of their marriage. They took their case to the Supreme Court, where miscegenation was finally legal. This took a road block out for couples for years to come. They fought for fairness, and that’s what they got. They were leaders and took a big step. Secondly, during the court section in To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch knows he probably will not win but he still wants to try, for equality and to get rid of Maycomb’s usual disease. “ Atticus Finch won’t win, he can’t win, but he’s the only man in these parts who can keep a jury out so long in a case like that. And I thought to myself, well, we’re making a step--it’s just a baby-step, but it’s a step” (Lee 289). Atticus is a fair man, as well as a leader. So when he knows Tom Robinson was clearly innocent, but also knows the
