Atticus Finch is the voice of morality in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and the wisdom and guidance he gives his children, and the rest of the community, shows throughout the novel. Three of the major lessons that he teaches his children are having a strong sense of justice, morality, and racial equality.

When Atticus takes on the defense of Tom Robinson, he demonstrates all three of these important lessons. Defending a black man during this time in history wasn’t a “politically correct” thing to do, but his strong sense of justice demands that he does, because he knows that Tom is innocent, and he should have a fair trial no matter what race he is. To turn his back on this case would also go against everything his moral standards are built on.

Atticus teaches these lessons to his children in the best possible way: not just by his words, but by his actions.
