Black and white: that is all these white folks see. An outcast, a burden to society, a Negro is all Tom Robinson is. “...Guilty” I heard Judge Taylor announce. Why is it so difficult to see past a man's skin color? Mr. Atticus Finch has provided clear evidence defending Tom’s innocence.

Although my condolences go to Tom Robinson and his family, I also sympathize with Mr. Atticus Finch. This man put his blood, sweat and tears to help Tom Robinson. We have gone such a long way, I hope he does not give up on this
