Who We Are Message from the Head Many of you have read Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. The story she tells in the novel, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1961, is about growing up in the South during the Depression; it is about poverty, racism, and the tragic consequences of ignorance. It is also about something called point of view - about where you stand as you view the world, and how your angle of vision determines what you see and what you take from your experience. Toward the end of the novel, Scout, the young girl at the story's heart, stands on the front porch of the town's recluse, who is also one of its heroes. Looking out from that spot, she is able, for the first time, to see the world through the eyes of another - and to catch a glimpse of her own world in a new way.
