- Jean Louise finds a racist pamphlet in her father's office: The Black Plague (8.16). It's not about the bubonic plague. Nope, it's about black people.
- She learns from Alexandra that Atticus and Henry have been attending a County Citizens' Council, which is basically a meeting for white men to go to and talk about the evils of black people and integration.
- Yowza.
- Jean Louise has to see it for herself.
- Sure enough, Atticus and Henry are both there, sitting down as a man named Grady O'Hanlon spouts his racist beliefs.
- Jean Louise is shocked. She remembers the time her father defended a black man, and won him an acquittal. (Did you notice that this is different from To Kill A Mockingbird, where Finch does not win his case?)
- Seeing Atticus at this meeting makes her sick to her stomach...obvs.
- She staggers from the courthouse, and she stumbles through the streets until she finds herself at the ice cream shop where her old house used to stand.
- The man who runs the shop recognizes her and offers to give her a free serving if she guesses his name.
- But...she doesn't know his name.
- She orders a container of ice cream and takes it around back to be alone with her ice cream and her disgust with her father.
