Okay for my theme I've chosen racism. Racism plays a major part in TKAM. Like when Cal says "Suppose you and scout talked colored-folks' at home it'd be out of place," 126. This has became more apparent at the trial "as the black people surged up stairs."164. Also in the place of mixed children and people.
The greater meaning. I think that the mixed people were in there to show that there were people perhaps worse than the blacks. As for the blacks during the trial was to show that even in a trail were a black man is involved his own friends and family couldn't sit near him. Also I think it shows some of the Rosa Parks thing about being able to sit in the front of the bus.

Racism is one of To Kill a Mockingbird's main themes and can be seen throughout the book. you used good examples to show this. i agree with you that the author put "mixed people" in to her story to show that we are all equal. i also believe that it was important to include a "mixed community" too show the prejudice culture in the south.
