You should try relating the Scottsburro case and tom Robinsons. Also think about... oh I cant remember his name but he's the white man married to a black women also known as the town drunk. Even though it's only a coke bottle. You can talk about him as well. Think of how people were treated. How easy it was to frame a black man. Even talk about the opposing lawyer and how he treated Tom. Another thing talk about how the white people were treated as well, like when scott and jem went to church with the black people. How were they treated?

Here is a little something that might help, might not.  

The Civil Rights Movement, like most movements, did have a polarizing moment that started to really get people involved and taking actions.  People like Rosa Parks and MKL came out strongly after this, their commitment firmed up by the event.  That even was the death of Emmett Till, or more correctly: what Mamie Till, his mother, did.  It was an exceptionally brutal death for a fourteen year old boy, all over a trivial thing.  And Mamie had an open casket funeral, let the world see what happened, and encouraged peace in the face of this terrible tragedy.  Everyone had heard how bad things were, but many discounted things as being exaggerated.  After this horrible killing and a trial where the murderers were set free by a jury of their peers, the truth of just how bad things were could not be denied any longer and more and more people started to support organizations like the NAACP.  Till's death did not start the Civil Rights Movement, but like a fan to a flame, it caused it to spread very rapidly.

Might be worth seeing if there is something in the book you can related to an event like that: a moment that truly changes the tone of things.  A point where it is too much and people change.
