 A Lesson Before DyingErnest J. GainesErnest J. Gaines's A Lesson Before Dying tells the story of Jefferson, a young black man wrongfully accused of robbing and murdering a white man and sentenced to death. During the trial, Jefferson internalizes his attorney's argument that he is too dim to have planned such a robbery. His godmother, Miss Emma, enlists Grant Wiggins to teach Jefferson how to be a man and to die with dignity, and over the next few months, both men find the self-respect each had lost.
