Understanding Mockingbird Lectures a Huge Success!

Many flock to the Understanding Mockingbird lectures on Thursdays at the Quincy Public Library.  Participants have heard presentations from Dr. Caroline Collins, Associate Professor of English at Quincy University, and Julie Schuetz, Quincy attorney.  Both lectures have dealt with the Big Read book, To Kill a Mockingbird.  Adams County Circuit Judge Mark Drummond will present "Lessons Learned from the film To Kill a Mockingbird" on Thursday, October 8 at 1:00pm.

Here's a short summary:

Perhaps no other fictional attorney has had more impact on real attorneys than Atticus Finch.  In the film To Kill a Mockingbird, his closing argument takes less than 7 minutes, but the lessons learned from those 7 minutes are timeless.  Take an in-depth look at the courtroom scene made famous by Gregory Peck's portrayal of Atticus Finch and hos it compares to other courtroom scenes captured on film.
