Two weeks before he visited Jefferson in jail, Grant received word that the superintendent was planning on visiting their school during the week. To ensure they were not caught unaware, Grant placed a student on guard to watch for any cars entering the quarter. All that week he drilled the children on dress, hygiene, the pledge of allegiance, and other lessons. Finally on Thursday the superintendent arrived. He was a short fat man who had difficulty getting out of his car and making his way into the school. As he entered the school the entire class stood up, then sat down in unison after he had seated himself. He looked over the class, then called up a five-year old girl, checked her hands for cleanliness, and asked her to recite a bible verse. Then he called up more students from the other grades, asked them grammatical and mathematical questions, checked their hands and even looked at their teeth. The spectacle reminded Grant of a slave owner inspecting slaves at a market. After a lecture on nutrition, Dr. Joseph commended Grant on his good work with a crop of fine students. The students rose in unison, as the superintendent walked out, but instead of feeling pride Grant hated himself for drilling them so rigorously.
The book provides perspective on the status of African Americans in the South after World War II and before the Civil Rights Movement. It shows the Jim Crow American South through the eyes of a formally educated African American teacher who often feels helpless and alienated from his own country. In the novel, Grant is the only educated black man in the area and the only member of the black community who might be considered capable of becoming free of overt oppression. The character feels his life and career choices are severely limited due to racial prejudices, an example of this in the novel being his instinct to refer to white male authority figures as "Sir". In order to break away from his social conditions, Grant's yearning to escape this situation heightens over time throughout the story. Grant feels that he is cornered by myriad forces: his aunt's incessant desires, pressures to conform to a fundamentalist religion that he does not believe, the children's needs to fulfil his role as a teacher, and the community's craving for proper leadership.[3]
Grant, a teacher in small-town Louisiana, is asked to spend his free time on death row helping young Jefferson become a man before he's executed. A tall order? Yeah, it is. In fact, it's a tall order plus a short stack. But the protagonist of Ernest J. Gaines' 1993 novel isn't afraid to cover that order with syrup and dig in.
