A powerful, moving & insightful story. Set in the forties in American south. Jefferson, a black boy, did not commit a crime but is arrested & will be hung. Grant Wiggins is a black teacher who is asked to help Jefferson to stand like a man .....to prove he is not a hog, as the white lawyer defending him said. All Grant wants to do leave where he is living....to get away from the expectations of his black community & the many many ways that he is mistreated from the whites' around him. It's cold in some ways but very touching as well.
