When Harper Lee wrote To Kill a Mockingbird, her home state of Alabama was a hotbed of civil rights activity. Throughout the South, blacks and whites were segregated. African Americans used different drinking fountains, entrances, and restroom facilities. They also had to sit on the back of public buses and were expected to move if a white person wanted their seat. In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. Her momentous decision sparked a yearlong bus boycott, giving new life to the civil rights movement and propelling Martin Luther King, Jr. to national prominence. Civil rights issues were heating up across the nation, too, and so the subject of To Kill a Mockingbird was quite timely upon its publication.
