Before the civil rights movement of the 1960A's it was virtually impossible for African Americans to mingle with, or join any of white AmericaA's social groups. Kayin, a naA_ve twenty-one year old, is attending college in red state Oklahoma. And for many African Americans, the definition for a red state is a place where segregation & inequality continues to be a lifestyle. Kayin, along with his cousin, and his two friends are profiled, and arrested for possession of crack cocaine. Were they framed? One out of every three black males born today will end up doing time in prison. Kayin becomes a statistic. Through a series of nightmares and hallucinations, Kayin is transported to actual historical events. The Trail Of Tears: The Fugitive Slave Law: The end of reconstruction: Oklahoma land runs: 50 all-black town: Illegal castrations and hangings: Jim Crow segregation laws: Attitudes & laws against marriage between blacks & whites: The 1921 Tulsa race riot: And pages filled with sex!
