It's 1935, and the Great Depression and California drought has left
eleven-year-old Joseph McCoy shining shoes to help his family
survive. Through his hard work and games with his sister, Joseph
has figured out how to get by as one of the few black people in a
mostly white community. But the order of the town is disrupted when
an all-black Civilian Conservation Corps camp comes to Elsinore,
sparking racial tension. It isn't long before prejudice spreads
like wildfire and threatens to force the work camp to leave. Could
Joseph's secret project save the camp and bring his family hope for
the future? If not, the whole town just might go up in flames. It's
the storytellers that preserve a nation's history. But what happens
when some stories are silenced? The I Am America series features
fictional stories based on important historical events from people
whose voices have been under represented, lost, or forgotten over
time.
