Atticus points out that the case comes down to the word of a black man against the word of the white people, and that the Ewells' case depends upon the jury's assumption that "all black men lie." Uncharacteristically, Atticus loosens his tie and removes his jacket, which Scout and Jem are astounded to see, because he never walks about so casually. In his final remarks, Atticus speaks directly to the jury, earnestly reminding them that there are honest and dishonest black people just as there are honest and dishonest white people. He tells the jury that in a court of law, "all men are created equal." A court is, however, no better than the members of its jury, and he urges the jury to do their duty. he hopes the jury will see reason without prejudice.

What are Atticus views on people being equal?
The amazing thing about Atticus' character is that he treats EVERYONE as an equal. One of the first examples that we see Atticus treat others as equal is when he speaks to Walter (the son) Cunningham when he comes over in chapter 3 for lunch. They speak like to men about crops. He treats Walter like an equal by discussing what Walter is interested in. In chapter 5, Atticus defends Boo (Arthur) Radley when he goes into a tirade at the children for trying to get Boo to come out. He lectures that what Boo did was his own business, and if he wanted to come out, he would. They were to leave him alone. Atticus could have let the kids continue their games (like any of the other parents would have), but he stopped them, then and there. Boo was a person, too, and what he did was his business. Of course the most important character (who he desperately wants to make others believe is their equal) is Tom Robinson. Atticus does everything he can to convince the jury that Mayella and Bob are lying. He defends Tom at the jailhouse in front of a bunch of men with guns, too. He wants others to see Tom as a man, an equal, but because he's black in this time period, the town would never see Tom in that light. But Atticus made them all think about it. He was the only one who could keep a jury out that long. Maudie mentions that to the kids after the verdict. He was "making a baby step" in the right direction.
