America the Beautiful
Description
From its original sin of slavery, we hoped America would have changed its ways with the Emancipation and the Reconstruction period. However, its journey through darkness was to continue with the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. They ushered in one of the ugliest, most diabolical periods in American history known as the Jim Crow era. Behind the scenes for over a century, the Klan terrorized the emancipated people. They lynched them, burned them, murdered them, shot them and so doing killed thousands of these freed people in the name of white supremacy. Their use of the noose to strike fear in the heart of minority is still ongoing. This is a story of three men, one who defied the Klan another who took Klan ideology to new heights and another who tried to heal. This story examines, explores and exposes racism in that nation. It exposes the thinking and privileges of the white mass and the suffering of the underprivileged black minority. The battles that are, fought to retain the status quo and those to gain equality. It is a fiction that is based on the reality of this nation and its racist past, with the hope of a better future for all as that nation evolve.
