A Small Town in Dixie

Mehr zum Buch

It is 1950 in rural Dixie where blacks and whites live under the convoluted rules of a segregated society that everyone seems to accept as a way of keeping order. When three white boys invade Colored Town on a lark of harassment, one is accidently shot, setting off a series of racially tainted crimes. By 1968, the fragile accommodation of white attitudes about color is exposed and innocents of both races are sacrificed. All is forgiven does not fly.
