I think it is unfair to only look upon To Kill A Mockingbird as a movie about racism. The outstanding performances make it a masterpiece to cherish for its value as a piece of art.

With the election of Obama, the world, especially America, finally seems to have thrown behind its racist past. Thanks for the To Kill a Mockingbird Quotes. More power to you.

To Kill a Mockingbird is probably one of the most powerful movies that I have ever seen. Probably Notebook was as powerful.

We thought To Kill A Mockingbird was a great book. We really enjoyed it and we will be reading it again in the near future. It opened our eyes so we could see what it would be like if we were in that situation. We both agree that it is unfair how coloured people are treated and we hope that one day nothing like this book will ever happen again.

This is very powerful movie, novel, and quote. It is unfair to judge a person by their skin color than by their character.

“It does not matter if you are black or white.” All that matters is your actions or character.

@Nikole: Perhaps you are looking for this quote from Atticus Finch to Scout: “As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it — whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.” Find more such quotes here: To Kill a Mockingbird Quotes
