Book Review
A Lesson Before Dying
Courtesy Bro. Marvin Jones. Sr.
|
On November 6, 2019, I was driving to George Wythe High School of Richmond when the host for the talk show on 105.7 FM announced that Ernest Gaines had died. I was saddened to hear the news about the great author whose works include A Lesson Before Dying, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, A Gathering of Old Men and In My Father’s House. I shall always remember that my daughter, Jamia was required to read A Lesson Before Dying during her first year at Richmond Community High School. Recently, I shared with you that I met Isaiah Todd when I was a substitute teacher at this school. Read more
