The movie “To Kill a Mockingbird” was released 50 years ago, but even today it resonates with viewers. On Thursday, President Barack Obama screened it in the White House, and on Saturday, the classic film will air on the USA Network at 8 p.m. ET with a special introduction from the president. The Academy award-winning movie, based on the novel by Harper Lee, tells the tale of a white lawyer, Atticus Finch, who defends a black man accused of raping a white woman in the Depression-era South.

1. thanks, amazingly I studied Southern lit and have never read 'Mockingbird'

or seen the movie.

Read plenty of Walker Percy though. And Penn Warren.

I often wondered why they ignored it.

I may watch it.

I got somethin' to say. And then I ain't gonna say no more. He took advantage of me. An' if you fine, fancy gentlemen ain't gonna do nothin' about it, then you're just a bunch of lousy, yella, stinkin' cowards, the - the whole bunch of ya, and your fancy airs don't come to nothin'. Your Ma'am'in' and your Miss Mayellarin' - it don't come to nothin', Mr. Finch, not... no.
