Till We Have Faces

Maycomb County, in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, willingly took a white man’s word, an ignoble white man’s word, over that of an obviously innocent black man. “We can educate ‘em till we’re blue in the face, we can try till we drop to make Christians out of ‘em, but there’s no lady safe in her bed these nights,” (266) Mrs. Farrow declares, promulgating the idea that a certain people group must be stereotyped and encouraging the belief that all “darkys” were crass and savage.
