"Separate but equal"

In TKAM the time period is the Jim crow laws because there is no equality but the African American people are not in slaved. The colored people and the white people are separated just like in the Jim crow laws they would say "separate but equal." In TKAM the churches are separate the colored people have their own church they go to while the white people have another church where they go to because they believe they have to be separate. The white people believe that they and the colored people can't be together because they the white people are the superior race. In Tom Robinsons trial in the court the colored and white people were also separated, the colored people would sit up on the balcony and the white people would sit on the bottom floor. The white people would get the better things while the colored people wouldn't get the good things the white people had. This is the same as the Jim Crow laws.
