The dictionaries definition of worth is along the lines of value, this value being focused on a black man named Jefferson, a young man on trial for the murder of a white man, a murder which by no means did he commit.

School is not just a place to learn in a classroom; it is also a place to explore your personal interests and learn from your classmates.
