THE STORY BEGINS IN TROUBLED TIMES (1967-68) IN A TROUBLED PLACE (THE SOUTH). THE SCRIPT REPORTS WHAT WAS HAPPENING LOCALLY IN WEST TENNESSEE, WHILE THE REST OF THE NATION WAS DEVELOPING NEW CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS; NOW, SNCC, NAACP. WE TRAVEL THROUGH THE TRAVAILS AND CELEBRATIONS OF TWO INTERRACIAL COLLEGE BOYS WHO FIND THE WORLD CONFUSING, WHILE CONTRIBUTING THEIR OWN ENERGY TO THE CHAOS. THE REASON FOR THE TITLE IS THAT MOST OF THE PUBLIC FACILITIES WOULD NOT ADMIT "COLORED" PATRONS. SISTER WILLI MAE TYGER SEEMED TO HOVER AS A BLACK ANGEL BETWEEN THE TWO RACIAL COMMUNITIES, DEALING WITH THEIR INBRED PREJUDICES.
