Final Reflection

The movie Mississippi Burning is based on the murder of three young men in the South. They were riding around the South trying to get the African-Americans in local towns to vote. These boys were from the North, two were white and one was black. These boys were in a small town in Mississippi when they were attacked by the KKK. The people who commit ed these crimes were not brought to justice during the time when it took place due to the racism in the south. This is related to my book because racism was a major theme in To Kill a Mockingbird along with innocent people dying because of their skin color. In the end the one's who murdered the boys from the North were convicted and brought to justice. Just like To kill a Mockingbird when Bob Ewell is stabbed with his own knife while attacking two innocent children.
