Best Answer

One symbol of racism in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is the mockingbird itself, representing innocence and purity. Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, is similarly innocent and undeserving of the prejudice and discrimination he faces in the novel. Another symbol is Atticus Finch's choice to defend Tom Robinson, highlighting his belief in equality and justice despite the prevailing racism in Maycomb.
