How would you typify Atticus' views on race and class in the larger context of his community and his peers?

Atticus is a fair man, and his views on race and class were visionary. Atticus didn't see differences based upon the color of someone's skin. He saw Calpurnia as family, and he saw Tom Robinson as nothing more than a member of his community. Atticus was well aware of the poverty and always treated everyone with the same respect. Mr. Cunningham's payment of food for his services was seen no differently than someone else's cash.
