The day after the trial, Miss Maudie Atkinson bakes cakes for the children and encourages Jem by saying that Atticus being assigned to defend Tom is evidence of Maycomb taking a "baby step", and I quote for this last part:
"And I thought to myself, well, we’re making a step—it’s just a baby-step, but it’s a step" (Lee, 219).
