b. Background Information about Jim crow and segregation,( Dates, facts, what it was)DEFINE ANY UNFAMILIAR TERMS
c. THESIS: The author represents this time period in history very accurately
d. Transition sentence: Gaines does this by showing how social norms, education, and justice system were like under the jim crow laws.
Evidence from the book(CHART)
Historical facts: “laws that made the whites occupy a higher social rung than blacks.”(from Niki browns article)

2. Body Paragraph 1: Social norms
A. Evidence from the book: In chapter 7 or 8(too hard to find)
B. Historical facts: “The justices argued that states could establish “separate but equal” facilities; if blacks and whites were treated equally, segregation would be allowed to stand. Yet, in almost all public facilities—schools, hospitals, trains, restaurants, hotels, parks, cemeteries, the armed forces, and jury duty—whites received priority over African Americans. Following the decision, some institutions excluded African Americans altogether.” This was normal back then.

3. Body Paragraph 2: Education
A. Evidence from the book: On page 13 chapter 2: “ Yes I’m the teacher, I said. And I teach what the white folks around here tell me to teach-reading, writing, and arithmetic.”
B. Historical facts: “Thurgood Marshall, sought to dismantle segregation in Louisiana’s public schools. Tureaud believed that segregated education, and the meager resources allotted for African American children, perpetuated poverty and inequality across generations. With the assistance of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Tureaud sued the state of Louisiana for paying African American teachers lower salaries than their white counterparts.”
4. Body Paragraph 3: Justice System
A. Evidence from the book: On pages 8 and 9 in Chapter One
B. Historical facts: “Homer Plessy, an active member of a New Orleans civil rights organization, the Comité de Citoyens, bought a first-class ticket on a train and attempted to sit among whites. After he was arrested for breaking the law, Plessy sued the railroad company, his lawyers arguing that segregation denied him equal protection under the law as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. In 1896, however, the US Supreme Court upheld Louisiana law in its decision on Plessy vs. Ferguson.” The reason they arrested Homer Plessy is because of the Jim Crow Laws applied to African Americans.

5. Conclusion : In the book, A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines
, it explains the everyday life and struggles in the 50s and 60s. Those years represent the Civil Rights movement. The book takes place in Louisiana, which was a state where African Americans were slaves and had little to no rights. The Civil Rights movement needed real heroes who could stand up for not only themselves but for others also. Jefferson, an African American boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessed a murder but got blamed for it because he was black. In order to convince the jury that he is innocent, his lawyer called him a hog in from of the judge in the court, claiming that killing him on the electrical chair does nothing, just like if there was a hog in that chair. Jefferson died like a man, but those like Grant, who was a school teacher,
are the real heroes, not only he stood up for Jefferson but also he represented the whole African-American community
