Our next novel: To Kill a Mockingbird
Harper Lee's look at prejudice in America in the late 1950's (published in 1960). The novel is written with both hope for the future and an overwhelming sadness of things to come if there is no change. We will be looking at both of those sides as we examine the novel in context alongside Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" Speech from 1963 and Romero's vision in Night of the Living Dead from 1968. Did things get better or worse, or both? And are we done or do we still have a ways to go? Moving backward, we begin with Romeo because Lee was very concerned with the spread of Maycomb's "usual disease." Check out our film review and trailer. Bring ID to check out To Kill a Mockingbird on Thursday/Friday.
