I would...Thanks for these differing perspectives. <br /><br />I would agree that To Kill a Mockingbird is isn't, but I appreciate the reminder that so many black people were involved in menial labour but brought dignity to it. Rosa Parks was a seamstress who was already part of a movement toward civil rights before she refused to shift to the back of the bus.David Mundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701933935604438349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-41001704313882204142011-08-08T09:41:09.437-04:002011-08-08T09:41:09.437-04:00I am half way through the book and can't wait ...I am half way through the book and can't wait for the movie.
