I agree, it is indeed, a good book. I just finished it myself. I don’t believe that the racism angle was overplayed. It was the times. There have been plenty of places and times that people were less than perfect. It is the people who dwell on it and expect people today, to be held responsible for the actions and thoughts of yesterday, that are the truly twisted ones.

There is a wonderful part of the book where Scout and her brother go to their housekeeper’s church, which is all black, and the congregation is upset at white folk seeing at the black church. I’ve always thought that chapter really makes the book work
