Harper Lee, the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird" has died at the age of 89.  Lee divided her time between New York City, where she wrote the novel in the 1950s, and her hometown of Monroeville, which inspired the book's fictional town Maycomb.  Executive Director for the Monroe County Museum, Wonda Green says while the world may know Lee as a "brillant writer" few knew of her humility and kindness.  "To Kill a Mockingbird," was originally published in 1960.
