      <title>From Attorney General Eric Holder’s speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of To Kill a Mockingbird: by Michelle Palmer</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/michellepalmer29/gallerywalk4</link>
      <description>This story—of Scout’s painful education, of Tom Robinson’s shameful trial, of
Boo Radley’s unexpected heroism, and of the prejudices, passions and values
that can split apart communities—became our story. It became America’s story.
With the new issues and fears that now confront us, it remains our story. And
it remains an essential teaching tool for students and educators, for advocates
and policymakers, for law enforcement officers and judges, for the American
people and—of course—for the countless attorneys whose professional paths
were first inspired by a small-town Alabama lawyer named Atticus Finch.
So many of us will never forget the goose bumps we felt when Atticus decided
to represent Tom; or the image of him—in a chair outside Tom’s jail cell—
keeping watch against the mob he’s sure will soon come clamoring for blood,
and keeping faith with his belief that every person—regardless of race or creed
or the crime he committed—deserves what Atticus called a “square deal . . . in
a courtroom.”
For the last five decades, To Kill a Mockingbird has reminded us that, in the
work of ensuring justice, one person can make a difference. Individual actions
count. And those who are willing to stand up for a principle, to take even one
step toward progress, or, simply, to take a seat—be it outside a jailhouse, in a
courthouse or a classroom, at a lunch counter or the front of a bus—can help to
change the world.</description>

I was not shocked or dissapointed when reading this article because it is very accurate and agrees with how people no matter what it is should and can make a difference. I do not disagree with this statement , it is very accurate and true, it not only gives us exemples from the novel but it compares it to the impact it had even now, 50 years later. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I agree with some aspects of the article.<br>But it is not only people like Atticus who helped us progress and slowly decriminalize the Black community.<br>Without the African Americans input we would still be the way we were 50+ years ago. What Atticus did was only the human thing to do.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I agree that this novel should be a reminder to everyone that although times have gotten "better" we still struggle with these things. The book tells a story, from nearly a century ago, and we still see similar incidents. A person of colour being wrongfully accused and receives a guilty verdict. As a society we've come far because we are able to talk about these things but at the same time only a certain amount of progress has been truly made.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I very much agree with this assessment, It's very accurate. I find it sad that even though we've made change and different,  there's still a lot to be done, Things that we shouldn't have even have a problem with in the first place (police brutality, racial profiling, etc.)  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I agree with this article, the story of TKM is still super important to this day because like she said it is a reminder of how you alone can make a big change. The themes are also still present, like racism and injustice in the justice system because of racism. <br>Eric's speech does not surprise me, i think it makes total sense and he makes sensible and excellent points about change and the importance of change.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I agree. Even though things have gotten better, there are still some issues that are going on in today's world. The book is a reminder of some aspects that have been going on in history. And that one person could help to make a change even if they're not directly affected by the situation, in the slightest way.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One person can make a difference. In our society today we have ignorant people and civilized people. The civilized ones and we’ll educated like Atticus finch, can affect a society more then we think. Actions speaks louder then words, and that what Atticus showed. many people were frustrated and mad but he stands for what’s right. The image he gave will increase scout and jem’s education. being a good man with good manners and self respect is what we see on to kill a mockingbird with affective characters like Atticus, Tom Robinson , and Bob(Arthur) rarely, and the way they respect themselves is the way people treated with them so I strongly agree.</div>]]></description>
