1 To Kill a Mockingbird Published in 1960, “To Kill a Mockingbird” is an award-winning American classic. It was written by Harper Lee and centers around her own experiences growing up in the South of North America. The novel is set in the Deep South during the Great Depression. During this period, racism was rife and deeply entrenched in the US. Despite slave trade being abolished for over a century, Black people were still severely oppressed and sidelined, lacking the same freedoms as white people. “To Kill a Mockingbird” narrates this struggle through its main characters, Scout Finch and Tom Robinson. It is apparent that Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prizewinning novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, should be not banned in middle and high schools because it gives students the opportunity to understand the origins and consequences of prejudice and racism in the United States. Secondly, the book tackles complex issues that still ensure today. Therefore the lessons contained in it can be used to address societal issues.
