He mentioned Atticus Finch. Incidentally, my students are reading To Kill A Mockingbird right now, and they don't quite appreciate yet its relevance. I daresay, though, when the president mentions the book in his historic final speech, I think that it gives you an idea of just how influential the book is. I guess the kids don't pay much attention to politics, but it still made a nice talking point.
