at that time, especially in the South, the concept of racial discrimination still remained. Thanks to the lessons of the Civil War, most Americans rejected discrimination against blacks. However, some stubborn Americans insist that blacks are “niggers” and refuse to abandon their inherent beliefs. The movie “To Kill a Mockingbird” sparked hope in the confusion and used racial words to expose reality. One of the most profound scenes is when Atticus tells the children that he shot a mockingbird, but felt guilty because he thought the bird had done nothing wrong (Universal Movies). Thus the thrush became a symbol of one's responsibility towards life and also a symbol of freedom and equality. Additionally, the book “Black, White, and in Color: Television and Black Civil Rights” also examines the representation of blackness on television at the height of the Southern civil rights movement (Torres). Regardless, the film successfully promoted the civil rights movement of the 1960s and helped the South and the entire country accelerate the civil rights movement. In the 1950s, whites and blacks had to be segregated on the bus, children had to be separated even at school (Racial Segregation). Therefore, blacks launched a series of civil rights movements under the leadership of Martin Luther King. Not only does this film educate generations of Americans to change their past stereotypes of blacks and make them understand the dangers of racism, but it also continues to develop the civil rights movement. For hundreds of years, the suffering of black people has represented a shameful chapter in American history. Even some hardcore racists don't recognize this, but it's a fact. At the same time, American filmmakers dare to face history and falsify the truth, striving to achieve racial equality in the world.
