Recounts the aftermath of the murder of Henry Marrow, a 23 year-old African American Vietnam veteran who was killed by a prominent white businessman and his grown sons in Oxford, North Carolina. Responding to the crime and the sham trial that followed, many young African American men take to the streets, engaging in riots and vandalism. However, Marrow's cousin, Benjamin Chavis, decides that the best way to protest the government's unwillingness to intercede is to organize a peaceful march on the state Capitol.What begins as a small group of Marrow's outraged friends and relatives soon grows to become a crowd of thousands over a three-day, fifty-mile trek to Raleigh.Ten years old at the time, Timothy Tyson watched as his father, pastor of the all-white Methodist church, tried in vain to get his congregation to reconcile with their African American neighbors. It was already too late; the black citizens of this small Southern town had decided to take matters into their own hands.
