Biography: 

Outside the courthouse when Lucas, George and Nat arrive for the trial they see a group of people with "faces they knew" - other tenants from the Edmonds' place, and from "other places along the creek and in the neighborhood" (69). Since the text contrasts them explicitly with the "rich white" people also in the Square, it's likely that the people in this first group are all black.
