My soul never kneels down Main content, what is the story?

In Louisiana in the 40s of the 20th century, Jefferson, a 21-year-old black man, was unfortunately involved in a small hotel** incident in which three people died on the spot. As the only survivor at the scene of the crime, he was charged by white men with deliberate ** and sentenced to death. After graduating from college, Grant, who returned to his hometown to teach at a local farm elementary school, was unwilling to live in a corner and did nothing.

His aunt and Jefferson's godmother wanted him to visit Jefferson in prison, to use his wisdom and personality to reshape Jefferson's ignorant and self-contemptuous soul, and to teach Jefferson his last lesson before he died: to die with dignity and pride. Will Jefferson, who has been frustrated and willing to fall into depravity, regain his value as a human being?

How does the conflicted and struggling Grant find the meaning of redemption? This is a lesson, but also a realization. The racism of the American South, the life aspirations of black teachers, and the frustrated lives of ignorant teenagers are intertwined with the brilliance of friendship and humanity.
