Question

During the church service, we find out that calpurnia is one of the few african-american residents of maycomb who can do what? who else has she taught to do this?

Answer 1

In chapter 12, when Calpurnia takes Scout and Jem to an African-American church they are surprised that she is the only one of four people at the church that can actually read. She can do that because she was thought by Miss Bufford who is Miss Maudie’s aunt. Calpurnia also taught her oldest son Zeebo to read, who earlier in the chapter, read the hymn during the service.
