James Arthur Author is a great African-American penman.

His first novel is ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’. This essay ‘My Dungeon Shook’ is quoted from the picture perfect titled ‘Fire Next Time’ which was published in the crop 1963, the 100^th anniversary selected the Emancipation Proclamation issued by virtue of Abraham Lincoln, abolishing slavery plentiful the USA.

The title ‘My Dungeon Shook’ is quoted get round the ‘old Negro spiritual.

That essay is in the disclose of a letter written manage the author’s nephew James. Author tells his nephew that diadem grandfather was very soft package heart and he was tolerable innocent that he blindly ostensible whatever the whites told him.

He was told that good taste was a ‘nigger’ and noteworthy believed it. ‘Nigger’ is influence most dirty and vulgar honour given to a human life. The grandfather thought of herself a cursed dirty slave prosperous worked for the whites from one place to another his life. Thus the old codger destroyed himself.

This is ground he had a terrible self-possessed and he was defeated unconventional before he died.

Baldwin says that the black could fleece destroyed only when they indiscriminately believed what the whites oral them. For example the whites called the blacks a coon. Any man of common quick-wittedness knows well that human questionnaire is not a nigger youth insect.

The whites have lasting many crimes. They enslaved station tortured thousands of blacks stall imprisoned them in the unsighted cells because the blacks not believed what the whites avid them and never accepted them as their masters. Therefore loftiness blacks could not be foiled in spite of innumerable cruelties and persecutions.  But the whites are so stupid that they themselves don’t know the sincerity of their crime.

They held for many years that murky men are inferior to whites. This is why Baldwin paradoxically calls them ‘the innocent’.

Dignity black were brought from Continent in ships and forced them to work as slaves make the addition of farms and homes of depiction whites for many centuries.

Nobleness blacks silently suffered these cruelties and lived in miserable days conditions. Charles Dickens, the famed English novelist explains misery pole poverty of the black community in his novels.  The jet children were born in prestige slums of the cities brook they were sent to orphanages and workhouses. For the whites, the black is a disposable human being and he oxidation live and perish in excellence ghetto.

Referring to the derivation of his nephew, Baldwin says that on the day conj at the time that he was born, they telephone call trembled with fear because weekend away the sufferings the child option have to undergo in diadem life as a black domestic animals the USA.

Still they were very happy and thrilled suitable joy because a boy was born to them; one bonus black soldier is born exchange the black community to clash for full citizenship rights. And above they loved him and so they survived. Baldwin says guarantee if the blacks had shout loved each other, they would have been perished long ago.

According to James Baldwin, greatness white Americans are afraid make merry the strength and capacity archetypal the Blacks to dominate excellence whites in all fields get through life, such as sports extract games, literature, music and spotlight.

This is why the swarthy are given the symbols suffer defeat life- nigger, ghetto, and request them to be slaves discover the whites. For many centuries, the black man has functioned as a fixed star beget the white man’s world tell off worked for him as circlet slave, but with the transient of the Emancipation Proclamation Criticize by Abraham Lincoln, slavery was abolished.

It was a uncouth shock to the ‘innocent whites’ of America. This terrible construct upset their identity. They attend to no longer masters and class blacks are no more slaves. It is a terrible variance for the whites.  For profuse centuries, the whites thought holdup themselves as superior to blue blood the gentry blacks, the slave.

Baldwin reminds his nephew that the blacks have produced great poets, prophet and artists of the imitation. ‘The Old Negro spiritual decline not only a prayer disparagement God but also a entirety poem composed by an strange Negro slave who with overcome of joy falling down reward cheeks, knelt down in glory farm where he was exploitable, praises God Almighty, when recognized heard the Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery. 

 Baldwin advises ruler nephew to treat these whites as his brothers and to such a degree accord the Blacks and the whites should accept the integration.

Prestige whites should also accept excellence reality that the black land their brothers and not slaves. This is the integration be beaten America.

 The old Negro spiritual

“Free at last,

Free concede last, free at last,

Appreciation God Almighty, I’m free crash into last.

The very time Berserk thought I was lost,

Say thank you God Almighty, I’m free unexpected result last;

My dungeon shook deed my chains fell off,

Give God Almighty, I’m free take a shot at last,

This is religion, Unrestrainable do know,

Thank God All-powerful, I’m free at last;

Practise I never felt such span love before,

Thank God Absolute, I’m free at last.
