News Story Whites in a Colored Church

Calpurnia decides to take the children to her “colored” church Sunday. Lula, criticizes Calpurnia for bringing white children to church, but everyone else is generally friendly, and Reverend Sykes welcomes them. The church has no money for hyms, and few of the others can read, so they sing by echoing the words. During the service, Reverend Sykes takes up a collection for Tom Robinson’s wife, Helen, who can’t find work now that her husband has been accused of rape. After the service, Scout learns that Tom Robinson has been accused by Bob Ewell and cannot understand why anyone would believe the this man.

There was a KKK(Ku Klux Klan) meeting on Tuesday, May of the fourteenth. While they all stand around the giant cross, they have sticks that are on fire. And they wave them up and down, and walk around the cross. As I watched, the Klan had captured an African American and hung him. They tied him to the cross and set it on fire. As the flames went higher and higher, I realized that the Klan treat them like they are nothing, all of the African Americans, Mexicans, the Jews, Catholics and all the people they are against. They treat them like they are just a piece of trash that you throw to the side of the road. Kids of all ages were at the meeting. From newborn to one hundred or whatever the oldest age was. Those little kids are innocent and grow up trusting others that they do not even know. “They don’t have a right to live freely in America.” says Edward John Jr., “If you don’t like what we talk about or say, then leave us alone and go away."
