From Scout’s and Jem’s experience in the courtroom we can learn that there is a lot of racism and prejudice towards the black community. The black men and women had to wait for the White people to enter the courtroom first, and most of them had the back seats. The courthouse is very segregated and there is a clear seperation between white and black communities.

When Scout and Jem entered the courtroom they were offered seats by four black men. There were many White men sitting down but they didn’t give up their seats. We can infer from this that Maycomb county has built a racist community, where black men feel obliged to offer their seats to white children.
