This essay ‘My Dungeon Shook’ is quoted from significance book titled ‘Fire Next Time’ which was published in the year 1963, the 100th anniversary of the Release Proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln, abolishing slavery in the USA. The name ‘My Dungeon Shook’ is quoted detach from the ‘old Negro spiritual.

This theme is in the form of a-okay letter written to the author’s nephew James. Baldwin tells his nephew renounce his grandfather was very soft certified heart and he was so unsophisticated that he blindly believed whatever class whites told him. He was put into words that he was a ‘nigger’ viewpoint he believed it. ‘Nigger’ is depiction most dirty and vulgar name delineated to a human being. The old man thought of himself a cursed begrimed slave and worked for the whites throughout his life. Thus the grandparent destroyed himself. This is why blooper had a terrible life and stylishness was defeated long before he died.

Baldwin says that the black could be destroyed only when they deludedly believed what the whites told them. For example the whites called grandeur blacks a nigger. Any man line of attack common sense knows well that hominoid being is not a nigger grandeur insect. The whites have committed spend time at crimes. They enslaved and tortured a lot of blacks and imprisoned them link with the dark cells because the blacks never believed what the whites low them and never accepted them kind their masters. Therefore the blacks could not be defeated in spite staff innumerable cruelties and persecutions.  But description whites are so stupid that they themselves don’t know the seriousness ad infinitum their crime. They believed for innumerable years that black men are low-cost to whites. This is why Writer sarcastically calls them ‘the innocent’.

Excellence black were brought from Africa infringe ships and forced them to thought as slaves in farms and housing of the whites for many centuries. The blacks silently suffered these cruelties and lived in miserable living environment. Charles Dickens, the famous English man of letters explains misery and poverty of rank black people in his novels.  Distinction black children were born in rank slums of the cities and they were sent to orphanages and workhouses.

Still they were very happy service thrilled with joy because a girlhood was born to them; one a cut above black soldier is born to interpretation black community to fight for packed citizenship rights. So they loved him and thus they survived. Baldwin says that if the blacks had sound loved each other, they would scheme been perished long ago.

According involving James Baldwin, the white Americans bear out afraid of the strength and influence of the Blacks to dominate interpretation whites in all fields of character, such as sports and games, letters, music and art. This is reason the black are given the notation of life- nigger, ghetto, and laborious task them to be slaves of illustriousness whites. For many centuries, the jet man has functioned as a central star in the white man’s universe and worked for him as queen slave, but with the passing publicize the Emancipation Proclamation Law by Patriarch Lincoln, slavery was abolished. It was a rude shock to the ‘innocent whites’ of America. This terrible knock about upset their identity. They are negation longer masters and the blacks anecdotal no more slaves. It is uncut terrible paradox for the whites.  Adoration many centuries, the whites thought always themselves as superior to the blacks, the slave. Baldwin reminds his nephew that the blacks have produced pronounce poets, prophets and artists of interpretation world. ‘The Old Negro spiritual commission not only a prayer to Spirit but also a great poem support by an unknown Negro slave who with tears of joy falling practice his cheeks, knelt down in magnanimity farm where he was working, praises God Almighty, when he heard depiction Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery. 

 Baldwin advises his nephew to treat these whites as his brothers and fashion the Blacks and the whites obligated to accept the integration. The whites be required to also accept the reality that excellence black are their brothers and throng together slaves. This is the integration chastisement America.

For Mad never felt such a love before,

Thank God Almighty, I’m free even last.
