Both Atticus and Martin Luther King, Jr. are moral, strong, and courageous men. Both men were well educated and held positions in the community where they could work for the betterment of mankind. Both men stood up against racism; Atticus in his defense of Tom Robinson and Martin Luther King Jr. for the rights of all African Americans. Both men struggled in the South. Maycomb, Alabama is the setting of "To Kill A Mockingbird" and Martin Luther king Jr. spent most of his time in the Southern states, especially Selma, Alabama, where racism was at its worst. Both men stood up for what was morally right whether or not it meant putting oneself at personal risk. Atticus is shunned by the town. Unfortunately, our real-life hero was assassinated.
