B-block & D-block
Here are some links I've gathered to help us as we read To Kill a Mockingbird. I will add to this list as I find relevant and interesting links:
1. Historical Archives for TKMB: Links on this page will take you to a variety of primary source documents related to the book from a trial that resembles the one in the book to various timelines to an interview with a black woman about growing up in Alabama.
2. Audio version: If you like listening to the book as you read along, visit this website which has audio files of the entire book.
3. Biography of Harper Lee, the author.
4. A second wonderful biography of Lee.
5. Jim Crow Museum: Website devoted to exploration of legalized segregation laws enacted between 1876 and 1965; includes an explanation of Jim Crow laws ("What is Jim Crow?")
6. The History of Jim Crow
7. Dick and Sharon's LA Progressive: Racism in America: Journalists who collect and tag current articles dealing with racism in America
8. "Harper Lee, Gregarious for a Day," 2006 New York Times article about Lee.
