Will the prejudice in Maycomb ever cease?

Looking back at the court trial regarding Tom Robinson as I think of the possible outcomes if there was no prejudice in Maycomb, I am filled with grief and sorrow for him.

I thought that Atticus would win the case and aquit Tom but instead he was convicted and now hes dead? He was an innocent man that did nothing wrong and instead of good things happening to him, he got accused of raping Mayella Ewell?

And almost the whole jury just blindly state that he is guilty without feeling remorse while watching him get convicted for something he has not done and let Bob Ewell get away with his sins unpunished?

People said that a black man can never pit his word against a white man and it was made clear to me during his trial.
