Relations to TKAM
The theme of racial segregation.
The wise, guiding figures of Atticus and (in 42) Rickey present in both.
Lynching VS physical and emotionaly abuse due to race.
The last name "Robinson".
They are both tracing powerful journeys.
Both have certain amounts of fiction (because true stories are often loosely re-interpreted, even though in 42 it is pretty accurate).
Relations to TKAM
