Maybe it’s just me, but race relations was only one of many arguably more universal themes in “To Kill a Mockingbird”. I always saw it in terms of its broader themes such as integrity, prejudice (in genera), doing the right thing even against unpopular opinions, human nature (both good and bad), injustice, etc. Then again, I felt similarly about “The Catcher in the Rye” and loved that book as a teenager as well. So perhaps I’m an exception or missing something.
