... The character Tom Robinson from the book, To Kill a Mocking Bird, was based on an actual person, not just from the imagination of Harper Lee. ... The person, as I have seen and read, Tom Robinson was based on is Haywood Patterson. Haywood Patterson was a man like Tom, a poor African-American that had done nothing wrong in the world, was much like a mocking bird, which could be the origin of the title. ... He was also arrested before just like Tom, at a misconduct at a rail station, and it is somewhat mentioned that the men Haywood was in a fight with paid and didn’t have to spend the full time in jail.
