In To Kill A Mockingbird many themes are exposed. A main character, Tom Robinson, identifies with the theme injustice. Tom Robinson was wrongly convicted of rape. Another person that identifies with the theme injustice, in reality, is Rodney King. Rodney King did not see his attackers receive their due punishment, in my opinion.

And to cover up the one person who knew what really happened, she must get rid of him. She'll accuse him of rape, he'll be sent to prison and it will be done (Lee, 202).
