Answer 2

In chapter 12 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," segregation is evident through the division between the white and black communities in Maycomb. We see this when Calpurnia brings Jem and Scout to her black church and they are met with surprise and discomfort from the congregation. The separation of the two races is also highlighted when Calpurnia speaks differently at the church and when she returns to the Finch household.
