A LESSON BEFORE DYING by Ernest J. Gaines
[part of THE BIG READ]
Dr. Justin Wert, PVCC English Prof, will moderate the discussion. The story of two African American men struggling to attain manhood in a prejudiced society, in Louisiana in the late 1940s. It concerns Jefferson, a mentally slow, barely literate young man, who, though an innocent bystander to a shootout between a white store owner and two black robbers, is convicted of murder and sentenced to death, and the sophisticated, educated man who comes to his aid.
