Show Notes
With Harper Lee's upbringing in Monroeville, Alabama, seemingly having so many similarities to that of her narrator, Scout, many have alluded to her Pulitzer Prize-winning work as being inspired by her own childhood. But can we dig a little deeper? What about some of the other characters on display in the sleepy neighbourhood of Maycomb and its environs, and how did the racially motivated convictions seen in numerous court cases of depression-era America influence Lee further to tell a story of injustice and hope? Was Atticus Finch a real person? Did Boo Radley really exist? And was Tom Robinson actually convicted of a crime he did not commit? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
