| Summary |
Johnny Nash, Estelle Hemsley, Beah Richards Frederick O'Neal and Ruby Dee star in this groundbreaking tale of a disaffected young man on the brink of manhood who struggles to understand not only his place in the word, but also the racism he faces in his hometown. Spence (Nash) is an angry young man, but he's not quite sure what it is he's angry about. After all, he has led a comfortable, middle class life with his bank teller father (O'Neal), his loving mother (Richards) and their devoted maid (Dee) in a cozy -- albeit white -- neighborhood. But as he prepares to step into adulthood, the world he has known seems to be changing all around him and he's not sure why. Suddenly, the pals he's grown up with don't want him around so much, the girls want nothing to do with him and the adults seem determined to teach the young man to "know his place." But when a bigoted school teacher goes a bit too far, the self-respecting Spence finds himself forced to see the world as it really is. |
