William Martin, an illiterate black share-cropper in the rural
South and his wife, Maria, move from their small farm to a large
southern city in the midst of the great financial depression to
give their two sons the opportunity for a better education. They
all face almost insurmountable obstacles to better themselves
because of the segregation, discrimination, subjugation, and
humiliation imposed by the ruling white supremacy. The younger son,
Sam, is confronted with the daily challenge of either accepting his
secondary life as a black or rising above his environment and being
accepted as a person regardless of the color of his skin. The
injustices inflicted upon him and his family breeds a hatred within
him. How he handles this hatred determines his personal destiny.
