Atticus Finch Is Racist in Go Set a Watchman & the Internet Is Freaking Out Because Everything We Thought We Knew… http://t.co/51iTgD2Cl6
— E! News (@ENews) July 11, 2015- Once a role model for everyone in To Kill a Mockingbird, but apparently in Go Set a Watchman, Atticus Finch is a racist.
- In a review by NYT's Michiko Kakutani points out that Atticus Finch has attended Klan meetings and says things like “Do you want Negroes by the carload in our schools and churches and theaters? Do you want them in our world?”
- Set in the 1950s with Scout coming home to Alabama from NYC,we also learn that Jem is dead and Tom Robinson was acquitted of raping a white woman (in flashback sequences).
Really?
