For centuries, the written word has played a role in documenting society's conflicts and inspiring change.
Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird viewed the struggles of the civil rights era through the eyes of an innocent child. The Great Gatsby captured the spirit of Fitzgerald's generation and the decline of the American Dream. Nineteen Eighty-Four introduced "Big Brother" into the lexicon and Alex Haley's Roots gave a name to the anguish of slavery in America.
