Atticus is a counterpoint to that.



Atticus was forced to represent the black guy.

He turned it down because there was no chance to win and he didn't want his kids to be harassed and to go through what they ended up going through.

Judge assigned him to the case because Atticus was the only guy who would make sure he got good representation.


Basically, Atticus didn't do it because he believed in civil rights or to make a grand gesture. He did it because he "always did what needed to be done".
