s<strong>to</strong>wed with the US Presidential Medal of Peace and in<br />

2008 she was named a honorary member of the Alabama<br />

Lawyers’ Association. TV documentaries about<br />

her have shown this learned woman speaking intelligently<br />

about the recognition and praise that her 1960<br />

book and the Robert Milligan film based on it have<br />

received. She said one of the most significant things<br />

anyone has ever said <strong>to</strong> her was when an African-<br />

American woman came up <strong>to</strong> her and said: “I read your<br />

book when I was 14 and it changed my life!”<br />

Indeed, books like “To Kill a Mockingbird” and people<br />

like Harper Lee can influence other people’s views<br />

and change their lives, make them more humane and<br />

<strong>to</strong>lerant. When Chanturia’s selected showman says<br />

things like “My neighbour Vanya Petrov was a great<br />

guy”, it’s a simplified notion of “brotherhood and understanding”,<br />

it’s not <strong>to</strong>lerance!<br />
