He was referring to May Come. He was talking about racial..about people that we rent sane.. but who were taking a chance at life who have mind enough to help.Dad showed that he had 2 intelligent kids that loved life. Who did what they did through trials and knew what they did was right. What may come in your life you shall over come. That is what i came out of the story. Atticus.. was an unusual man.. but he had the fort sight with raising two wonderful kids. Which we need more now days.
Prejudice Is a may come disease... And needs to be out of our vocabulary.

"Maycomb's usual disease" is the gossiping that goes from one person to the next.
