As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it—whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.

Nelle Harper Lee, better known by her pen name Harper Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama, USA. She was an American novelist widely known for her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, published in 1960.
