Lesson Before Dying, A

A Lesson Before Dying

by Ernest J. Gaines

In late 1940s Louisiana, Jefferson, a barely literate black man, is sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit. Grant Wiggins, a university-educated teacher at a black plantation school, is pressed into service by Jefferson's godmother. Because she wants to picture Jefferson facing his execution with dignity, she wants Grant to teach him self-respect. What develops is a remarkable story of transformation for the teacher, the student, and the reader of this powerful novel.
