Tom Robinson

Atticus says that any white man who cheats a black man, no matter how rich or how high their family is, they are trash.

He says the worst thing you can do is cheat a black man out of money, it's twenty times worse because you're taking advantage out his ignorance because back then Africans weren't educated.

Atticus says that the only think that Mayella had done wrong, was to tempt a black man "and not an uncle but a young, strong black man," and her father had seen it. Now she is trying to erase the crime that she has done with another, by claiming that an innocent man had sexually assaulted her.
He chooses to defend the black man Tom Robinson to the best of his ability.

Atticus proves Tom innocent, yet the jury declared he was guilty. The reason being they would never favor a black man over a black man.
Atticus believed that a man is trash when he mistreats others, acts with cruelty and arrogance, lacks empathy, and fails to uphold moral values. He emphasized the importance of treating others with respect and dignity, regardless of their background or beliefs.
