A Lesson Before Dying

Friday, Oct 24 7:30p
First Presbyterian Church Fort Wayne, IN

In 1948 an innocent black man is convicted of killing a white store owner and sentenced to die. His attorney attempts to mitigate his sentence by arguing he only has the sense of a hog, the man decides to behave like one. A local schoolteacher tries to convince him he is a man, not an animal. As a result, they both regain their dignity as men. This celebrated novel’s wrenching power lies in the grace these characters muster as their only defense against being treated as less than human.
