The concept implemented within the chosen design embodies a struggle in which many African Americans face. The constant struggle throughout Generations and a struggle the black community didn't ask for or want, this is the harsh reality the black community in the 1930s America faced as segregation was commonly accepted and widely supported, with Hate groups such as the KKK thriving.
Why this issue? In the book, a man named Tom Robinson was wrongly convicted of rape. Inevitably he was found guilty due to his colour of his skin as he faced a criminal justice system rife with prejudice and hate for the black folk. The discrimination and prejudice that Tom Robinson suffered in the book is still a regular occurrence in today's Society within America. This situation the black community find themselves in opens the door for a variety of concepts as the idea of racial discrimination in the deep south of America with in the 1930s is still thriving today within modern America. The cover design could subtly be a tribute and/or protest for the black community.
