On 11 July 1960, publishers J. B. Lippincott & Co. debuted Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Set in Alabama, To Kill a Mockingbird follows as a white lawyer defends a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman by the town's folk. Narrated by the white lawyer's daughter, the coming-of-age book's ending sees the narrator losing her naivety when she starts to understand how rife racism is.
