Book: Go Set A Watchman
Author: Harper Lee
Page: Finish
Finally finishing the book, the most shocking part is when Atticus Finch ask Jean Louise "Have you ever considered that you can't have a set of backward people living among people advanced in one kind of civilization and have a social Arcadia?" This question makes me start to think Atticus may have his point. I believe that everyone has their. It's only the matter of showing it or hiding it.
Jean Louise was forced to grow up and face the reality by the fact that her father was a racist. During a long debate between Jean Louise and her father, it's clearly that Jean Louise cannot write off her father's good nor bad just because of the view he held. She learns that she eventually has come to understand what her father stands for even though that's not what she approves of.
Go Set A Watchman also put emphasis on the nature of racism in the 1950's South. It constantly reminds me one of my favorite movie, The Help. The Help is originally a novel about racism in Mississippi during Civil Rights era in 1962. Calpurnia is just like those maids and Jean Louise is similar to Skeeter who stands for the black.

Your group could have done a lot more of intertextuality by bringing in discussion of how Trump's language in the pubic has aroused another wave of overt discrimination toward the people of color in the US. You said, "I believe that everyone has theirs. It's only the matter of showing it or hiding it." I guess, the hidden message has been given a conduit to the open by Trump's words.
