Harper Lee said that?
Of course not - it's not only about that. I mean, it is semi-autobiographical - assuming Harper even wrote the thing (and even if Capote actually wrote it, it was Harper's story, regardless) - Scout is based heavily on her, Dill on Truman Capote and Atticus on Harper Lee's father.
The best stories come from a place of truth.
Even if not explicit, civil rights and the treatment of blacks under the law in the South in the pre-war era was a constant theme in the book.

That's what I thought. What a ridiculous claim: "book was never supposed to be about civil rights".
