How do I describe items which are in a list?
I have the phrase "They both decide that there are the coloured, the Cunninghams who are smart but are held back to help farm, the Ewells who aren’t respectable at all because of the state they live in, and the higher-class people like the Finches." And I know the grammar is off, since I'm describing items in a list. Generally, I'd put commas, like "The Cunninghams, who are smart but held back to help farm," but in a list, that would just be adding another item to the list. Right?

Well If I were you I would put a period after you describe the item. And use a 'then there is' or 'and this is' etcetera.
Explanation:
For example: "They both decided that there are 'The Coloured'. And The Cunningham's who are smart, but are held back to help farm. Then there are The Ewells, who aren't respectable at all because of the state they live in. And lastly the Higher-class people, like the Finches."
