    The correct answer is the following.

    When Richard Wright is talking about the "Lord of the Land" he is refefring to the owner of the fields where he used to work for. He refers that way he is leaving the place and he is heading North, to Chicago.

    He literally describes it like this: "We take one last furtive look over our shoulders to the Big House high upon a hill beyond the railroad tracks - where the Lord of the Land, and we feel glad for we are living."

    Richard Wright wrote "The One-Room Kitchenette". In the story, he describes the moments when he left the South where he used to live and work, in order to go North, looking for better opportunities. In a bitter-sweet manner, Wright he refers to what that meant to him and his family to leave that place and then arrive in Chicago where they lived in a one-room place in a tenement in Chicago.
