Description:
When a young African American soldier at home on leave was found hanged in a Cairo, Illinois, police station in 1967, the black and white populations of this historic southern Illinois river city clashed violently. Once ignited, their fury raged on for seven years. Preston Ewing Jr. and Jan Peterson Roddy combine on-the-scene photography, archival material, and eyewitness narration to document a time of danger and change played out at the crossroads between America's deep South and her midwestern Heartland.
