Carl Maxey Scholarship Fund: Monday, January 16 3:00pm. Carl Maxey (1924-1997) was a nationally recognized Spokane trial attorney, skilled counselor, and nationally recognized civil rights leader. He broke down color barriers nationwide through court cases and public campaigns. During his 40-year professional career as an attorney he handled hundreds of pro-bono cases for members of the NAACP. The Play Set in a small southern town during the Depression, To Kill a Mockingbird follows three years in the life of eight year old Scout Finch, her brother Jem and their father Atticus. To Kill a Mockingbird is an appealing depiction of childhood innocence, a scathing condemnation of racial prejudice, and an affirmation that human goodness can withstand the assault of evil. To Kill a Mockingbird won the Pulitzer in 1961, has been translated into more than 30 million copies worldwide, and was voted best novel of the 20th century by librarians. This was Harper Lee's first and only published novel and won three Academy Awards.
