Miss. Emma is Jefferson's godmother. Miss Emma is a very strong, courageous, and religious woman. She is devastated when her godson's lawyer publicly calls him a hog in the courtroom. It is Aunt Emma who asks Grant to intercede and help Grant die like a man.... she is determined that he will not go to his death believing himself no more than an animal.
