In another, a small black boy, Taylor Jackson (Miller), is the victim of brutally vicious racism, sparking a heated civil rights battle. All of this is seen through the eyes of Peejoe (Black), a young boy who recounts the events with a nostalgic memory, bringing all of the various subplots together. [More]
