In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus states, "Our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal."How do I challenge that...

Atticus has tremendous faith in the judicial system, and
in a perfect (American) world, his statement would hold true. However, many jurors do
not totally enter a courtroom free from bias or personal opinions. Certainly, the
all-white jury in the Tom Robinson trial was unable to see the facts of the case without
considering Tom's skin color; had they overlooked the fact that he was a black man, as
Atticus begged the jurors, a different outcome would have occurred. Juries today are far
less likely to be as one-sided as the jury in To Kill a
Mockingbird; they include men and women of all races and ethnic groups.
However, personal beliefs and preconceptions are still likely culprits in keeping juries
from making courts the "great levelers" that Atticus faithfully
maintains.
