Sorry, I mean 1959, not 1956.. a little number dyslexia sometimes. My apologies

[@ploppy9943]

I do that also from time to time. Do you happen to know why there are jury booths on both sides of the court room? That seems odd to me.

[@jennifursun3303]

@@ploppy9943 could it be for criminals who might be either attacked or might be iffy in public)

[@brysgurl81]

@@ploppy9943 the seats on the right side of the screen are for the courtroom audience. The jury sits in the wooden chairs to the left. I live in Monroeville now, and the annual play is so popular that they had to put seating for the audience there to accommodate.

[@brysgurl81]

What Jordan says about the jury is correct - they have men who come to the play each night sign up for “jury duty” and they call the names, and the group becomes part of the play. My husband was picked last year, and they really play it up- complete with jury summons that you get to keep.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

Interesting, my particular for of dyslexia causes me to reverse the last two numbers, I do it all the time.

[@Blueskys1972]

I need to see this movie again. My uncle used to work for Gregory Peck, he was like his right hand man. He started out as doing his gardening and ended up doing many other things for him until his death.

[@TinaLouise73]

Was Gregory Peck in the infamous movie The Omen?!

[@michellemiller178]

That was cool..they preserved the courthouse. Thank goodness!! Great vlog.

[@Sheilamarie2]

We all remember this great literary work as required reading in school, and then of course the great movie, so it even remains a vivid part of my childhood fabric/memories...

[@yellowsubmarine1321]

Thank you Jordan💋✌️💖

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, oh that was a funny story you told about Gregory Peck. It's been a fair few years since I saw the the film. I liked the old photos. Such a shame both the houses have gone. Great vlog Jordan.

[@HeyitsMegan]

I recently saw TKAMB on Broadway. My husband is a immigrant, and recognized the title but had bo idea what the story was about. We saw it on a whim, because it was next door to Jagged Little Pill and he said he would be interested in seeing it. We saw it the next evening!

[@stevenscarborough6221]

Wonderful vlog, Jordan-thank you!!

[@nativevirginian8344]

I read Mockingbird every spring, reminds me of my southern childhood. Hope to get there to pay homage myself one day.

[@michaelpaulsministry]

The Oak Ridge Boys are one of my favorites. Especially the song Elvira 😎💖🎶 "Oom Papa Oom Papa Oom Papa Mow Mow!!! High Ole Silver away!"

[@michelehood8837]

I literally JUST finished studying TKAM with my sons two weeks ago. Just like when I was in High School, we watched the film before reading the novel. My kids loved them both. We talked about Harper Lee, and the real-life inspirations for Atticus, Scout, and Dill. I will show them this video this morning. Thanks for all that you do, Jordan!

[@donnab6759]

Love this Jordan, thank you so much! I will tell you again--you make me want to travel! I really enjoy the literary stops.

[@Skunkape74]

Good stuff Jordan... Good to see you enjoyed the quiet drive through the Blackwater State Forest... You should make that drive between the hours of midnight and 3 am lol as it's very dark and creepy with wildlife everywhere... When I worked in Crestview, Florida I made that same drive 5 days a week... Going to work was during the day but coming home was always between midnight and 3 am...Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@chequitataylor6522]

Aww Jah is so adorable

[@Stephen033]

Really great video, I loved reading the book and watching the movie. Keep up the great work.

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Good book, and movie 😀, Good video .

[@altonwilliams7117]

My sister liked the book and movie so much she named my nephew Atticus.

[@adventureswithdash]

How awesome! Would be so neat to be there.

[@jeffs8614]

Didn't Gregory Peck have one of the greatest voices?

[@bonniebrown6960]

This very interesting Jordan. I never knew this was where the court house was. I would like to visit these places in person someday. My husband and I go through Brewton to go visit my son and his family down in Milton/ Navarro area. If it's not too far out of the way we would enjoy visiting Monroeville and Harper Lee where the court house is. Great history on, " To Kill A Mockingbird". 👍

[@Judy446]

Jordan that was awesome I saw the movie very good

[@carenclarke6896]

Outstanding vlog. One of my favorite books.

[@jaycihimes2236]

hi Jordan, is the piece of metal with the tab at Harper Lee's gravesite from a ham in honor of scout's costume? love the mural where you mentioned the MGM record, it also features Holly Golightly's , (Audrey Hepburn's) eye mask , from Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's

[@glenholley7824]

You are in my home town. I live outside of Munson florida

[@mariacardenas4665]

Wow

[@DarProbus]

Haven’t they removed TKAM from the reading lists at several schools now?

[@katrinacool]

Oh thank you Jordan - TKAM is one of my all time favorite books and film. What joy you bring with your videos- I would never have a chance to see the places you go and I am happy you are sharing you journey. ☀️🥰❤️😊🦩

[@JamesAllmond]

I get it, the truth set her free, at the end...

[@triviamom1]

I have to watch this movie My son loves it The way you do these So imteresti.g

[@TeamTrumpUSA]

The musical score, composed by Elmer Bernstein, for To Kill a Mockingbird is perhaps the most beautiful and haunting I have ever experienced. Cheers From Coastal South Carolina

[@jacquestedcooper]

I loved the book and movie of To Kill A Mockingbird. It was so great to see Monroeville and especially the courthouse. I loved the part in the movie where the black gentleman told Scout to stand up because her father was walking down the aisle to leave the courtroom. I remember being astonished when reading the book about how badly black people were treated in the south. Great blog. Thank you Jordan.

[@judithmitchell4667]

Hi Jordan - So very glad to see this video. A dear friend of mine played Atticus Finch a few years back and I remember how touched I was by the writing as well as the acting. Thank you for this, Jordan and have a great day. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

[@GrumpyKitten375]

I thought at first this was the courtoom to "My Cousin Vinny" lol but which TKAM is just supreme court room setting....Thanks Jordan!

[@cindyjohnson2300]

This was really cool Jordan, you are such a good story teller. I enjoy starting my day with you and a cup of coffee. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@judywho2249]

Great vlog! One of my favorite movies. Loved seeing the court room.

[@debbiedunn8600]

Thanks again Jordan for taking us along with you. This is one of my favorite books as well as movie. Love the way you tell the a story about each of your videos. You are a GREAT storyteller.

[@dazzlingchick]

💋Fantastic vlog Jordan! I am late to this one but here now. Safe Travels and continued Blessings. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

[@srhew6116]

Thanks for sharing this great video Jordan!👍👍

[@QuinceyG]

This is one of my favorites in literature. I am so excited you did this as I would likely never see these places. I even named my first Scout

[@SueProv]

This was my favorite movie. I always had a little crush on Atticus as a little girl.

[@anthonyseward2365]

I thoroughly enjoy the video Jordan and courtroom footage was incredible. Race relations have change some in the country however, we must press on because there is a lot work to be done to in this country to get rid of that cultural ignorance called white supremacy❤️👍🏽

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Also, not making everything about race helps eliminate people constantly dividing each other. How can we all be seen equally if we are going to continue to divide ourselves by color and gender..

[@ikant312]

People aren’t divided because of “making everything about race” - they are divided because of racism. People who are against racism aren’t divided.

[@KJ-xc6qs]

I have always had a strong affinity for southern literature and To Kill A Mockingbird (book + film) remains one of my all-time favorites. Thank you for this wonderful video!!!

[@kelvinshipp6565]

Great job Jordon, I really wish you could have stayed to see the play in Monroeville. It’s truly something that you will never forget. The play season is currently going on . I have been a cast member (Walter Cunningham) in the past. If you love the movie then the experience in the courtroom will add a totally new level. I would encourage anyone that can to make the trip to do so and enjoy the experience

[@mariet150]

When you got to the doorway of courtroom, I almost teared up. Thank you again for the vast array of topics you cover! Much appreciated.

[@ellesee7079]

Just me, or anyone else sing Sweet Home Alabama after Jordan said it? I loved this film. So glad that there are some things being preserved for prosperity! Thanks for catching them all for us Jordan.

[@marykingsley508]

Yes I sang it also😂

[@alancumming6407]

Thank you so much Jordan for this excellent film. You have an amazing gift of being able to create an atmosphere and pace that best suits the subject you are Vlogging. When you entered the court room you succeeded in making us experience those overwhelming emotions we felt when we first read this powerful novel. I have a feeling our family will be visiting this Vlog many times in the future.

[@terrijofilms305]

This is really neat, thanks so much for sharing! I love TKAM, great movie and book. 📚

[@tori9668]

So strange that I’m just seeing this video after learning that my Highschool took TKAM out of their curriculum- it really devastates me. It is my all time favorite book for a number of reasons, and one of my favorite films as well!

[@pollyfain6932]

Such a wonderful vlog....I am a big fan of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and have always wished I could visit Monroeville...and now I have! A heartfelt thanks Jordan!

[@marykingsley508]

You are awesome love seeing your videos in the morning makes my day.....sending you all love and blessings❤🙏

[@robertcarly9183]

Harper gave Gregory Peck her Dad's pocket watch before filming and Gregory used it during filming. Truman died at the second Mrs. Johnny Carson's home on Sunset Blvd. in Beverly Hills.

[@Star-Mac10]

Wonderful coverage of this classic book. During my high school years, I played the role of Calpurnia and my beloved brother played Tom. He was a phenomenal actor.🔥

[@billsmith5876]

My Aunt knew Harper since they were both from Monroeville.She gave my aunt a personalized signed first edition of TKAM which my cousin has.

[@markdraskovics1962]

HEY, JORDAN & JAH How's it going guys Yeah Really Ben Enjoying the last few Videos you and jah Did Love all the small back Road Towns so keep The awesome Adventure Down The old road OK Take care stay safe God bless and will see you on the next video

[@janielow8719]

TKAM was my favourite book as an 11 year old . Love from Scotland xxJanieDundee

[@hh7407]

Cool! I was born and raised in Mississippi. Born in Starkville, home to Mississippi State University, grew up in Vicksburg (drive to downtown Vicksburg and there are murals on the river wall down the hill next to the river a lot like the murals you showed in the beginning of this vlog) and there are museums and National Military Park and all sorts of historic stuff in Vicksburg. There are River Boat Casinos in Vicksburg. My Dad was born in Natchez, where there are lots of beautiful mansions from the antebellum era. I went to college in Oxford, home to Ole Miss (University of Mississippi). Have fun!

[@suefox6164]

Wow! Very very interesting. Thanks for making this video, Jordan. I love Florida beaches. And the murals were awesone. Little Jah looked so cute sleeping on his comfy bed.

[@tammyritter9258]

Great in depth video Jordan I learned something new from you, again! Thank You Take Care of yourself and Jah! HUGS from Tammy in PA

[@ellennewth6305]

"To Kill A Mockingbird" is a brilliant novel and a brilliant film! Another one of my favorite movies. Thank you so much for sharing your visit to Harper Lee's hometown. Loved it!!!

[@judywhidden8282]

Love this book. It was required reading when I was in high school. So was "Uncle Tom's Cabin". My brother, sister and I had the same English teacher. She keep the same teachers plan every year. The part when Scout was told to stand up because her father was passing always make me cry. I grew up in the Midwest "Dubuque Iowa " and we were taught all men were created equally. If you ever do a video on "Field of Dreams" a lot of scenes were filmed there in Dub. Their was also two other films made there "Fist" based on Jimmy Hoffa and "Take this job and shove it". Theirs a hotel their called Julien Dubuque that Al Capone would stay to get away from the Chicage Law and check the caves in the area where their liquor was stored and made. He had the 8th floor and theirs a huge bank vault still there. They give tours for it. Glad you enjoyed Florida I live north of Tampa. Brooksville Florida. My brother is retired Naval in Pensacola. They have a great Naval museum there that's neat to see. Enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing Hollywood and all. Stay safe in your travels.

[@robertcarly9183]

Gregory's daughter Cecilia named her son Harper who was born in 1999. There use to be a wonderful piece on Gregory on KZbin, but I can only find parts of it, if interested type a conversation with Gregory Peck., it's in parts now and not complete.

[@juliaross5268]

Oh boy. Going upstairs in the courthouse! I can sure understand how the presenter of this KZbin episode got the chills. I can also understand how “four negroes” had to give up their seats when the children followed Rev. Sykes up the stairs to the colored balcony.

[@thetorchyblameseries8100]

Very intriguing and in-depth vlog. Thanks, Jordan, it was a pleasure spending time with you on this journey.

[@AaronBridges]

So cool. I did same thing read book in jr high & watched movie. I’m pretty sure majority of American high school students read this book in school. If not they are definitely missing out on a gem. I never really enjoyed reading books that a teacher made the class read, but To Kill A Mockingbird was the first time I ever read a book that I had to read for school that I couldn’t put down once I started reading it. Thanks Jordan for taking us on this journey. Much appreciated

[@johne.porter1298]

Some of the courtroom shots were filmed at the Highlands County Courthouse in Sebring, Florida. There is a a spot left on the floor where Mr. Peck stood. This is all documented by the Historical Society of the area. The courthouse is still active..

[@destinyfamilyradio]

Oh Wow.. you were 30 mins from me in Alabama. If you ever come this way again, let me know, I would love to have you on my Tv Show!

[@pslyarnbarn]

Thanks for another educational video. I appreciate your videos and making history easier to understand.

[@EscapeArtistClub]

I'm from Alabama and my Dog's name is Boo Radley "Bouy" ! Harper Lee made a piece of jewelry for a friend of mine.

[@plymouthduster225]

Great vlog as always Jordan. I had never looked into where the movie was filmed at. I own the book and have read it many times. I even done a big report on it my sophomore year in high school English for a Semester test. Haven't seen the movie in a long time. But I really enjoyed it also. I always liked Gregory Peck's movies. Take care buddy safe travels.

Have read the book 12 times, seen the movie at least 6. Love them both. Great to see this vlog. It brings a certain reality to the book. Thank you Jordan.

I remember having to read the book in highschool but i was glad i did because it was really good. It was cool to see the courtroom. Thanks man!

[@dianebaugher3919]

I love this book, so I really enjoyed this-thank you Jordan for another great vlog

[@goldenhoneysilk]

nice vlog. thanks for the outting. like the tree that appeared when viewing the courthouse, deep maroon . good day and be safe.

[@yolandadelazerda207]

One of my favorite books and movies!! Awesomeness as always Jordan!!

[@sandeedriver1941]

I have read the book 4 times in highschool. As a child, i did not take racial injustice to heart. But...as an adult, i can hardly stand seeing or hearing such acts to another human being. This was intriguing to visit along with you to the court house especially! And seeing a glimpse of jah!

[@jennifursun3303]

figured that courtroom would be the one from Perry Mason

[@pameladonnelson2093]

To kill a mockingbird is one of my favorite movies I watch it whenever it comes on.

[@scottcollins7180]

That was really cool to see that. The town comes to life vividly in the book.

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

Well done, Jordan. I remember watching this film as a child. I enjoy seeing the Historical sights related to your content as well. When you walked into the courtroom that scene from the film popped into my head. :)

[@laurac1032]

I am a TKAM afficionado...and have been since I first read it in 1966. I must have read the book at least 100 times in my life and have watched the movie at least that many times. In fact, the movie has always been my "go to" when I'm sick and at home, or when I need to feel comforted. Jordan, I can't say thank you enough for taking the time to go to Monroeville and for such wonderful coverage of your trip. You've made my week! Love to Jah.

[@cynthiamincher5154]

Hey Jordan, you did a beautiful job with this video. Such an iconic novel and film and you gave us a very good background picture and covering of the location. Thanks so much for this.

You came too close to the best sausage factory in the country when you were in Brewton. Conecuh sausage is the absolute best! I live up I-65 in Chilton Co.

Nelle Harper was an incredible writer0 ,it was so unique and raw. Her admiration for her father was well depicted in both the book and movie . But the locations of where her story began were stunning, that court room was breath taking. Perhaps they need to do her movie story next Jordan now who would play her 🤔 Hmmm.....
