      Quote

               "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 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" - Said by Atticus, in chapter 23.
