Black lives matter, in these two films To Kill a Mockingbird and 12 Angry Men we learn that we need to stand up for what we believe in and take action. Atticus is in To Kill a Mockingbird and Juror eight is in 12 angry men and they have the same personalities in their films.

We haven’t be here long.” That quote was said in 12 Angry Men by Juror 8. All the men will not agree on a verdict, and things get out of hand. Some think they should go back to the judge today, they are a hung jury. Nobody can
