Native Son tells the story of 20-year-old Bigger Thomas, an African-American youth living in poverty in Chicago's South Side during the 1930s. Thomas is accused of crimes and is arrested. During his trial, his lawyer argues there is no escape from this destiny for his client or any other black American. The destiny is they are the product of the society that formed them and told them since birth exactly who and what they were supposed to be.
