Set in 1933 Mississippi, the story focuses on the Logans, a closely knit, fiercely independent African-American family. In Part one, the Logan’s spearheads a boycott against a bigoted merchant who clandestinely heads a Klan like organization. In part two, Mary Logan is fired from her teaching job for detailing the history of slavery to her students. The concluding chapter finds the Logan’s faced with foreclosure, while their oldest son’s friend is framed on a robbery-murder rap.
