5. Conclusion : In the book, A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines
, it explains the everyday life and struggles in the 50s and 60s. Those years represent the Civil Rights movement. The book takes place in Louisiana, which was a state where African Americans were slaves and had little to no rights. The Civil Rights movement needed real heroes who could stand up for not only themselves but for others also. Jefferson, an African American boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessed a murder but got blamed for it because he was black. In order to convince the jury that he is innocent, his lawyer called him a hog in from of the judge in the court, claiming that killing him on the electrical chair does nothing, just like if there was a hog in that chair. Jefferson died like a man, but those like Grant, who was a school teacher,
are the real heroes, not only he stood up for Jefferson but also he represented the whole African-American community
