Aprašymas

In 1956, two white children find out about racial prejudice when a black family with two kids moves into their previously all-white neighborhood in Buffalo.

Watching the black children endure taunts and cruel pranks at the hands of their classmates, the white kids adopt a cavalier attitude. Then, on summer vacation, when they visit their grandmother in the South, the white children find themselves being treated differently because-as Notherners-they don't fit in.

Although they only get a taste of what the black kids have to tolerate, they return home with a new perspective on prejudice. Despite peer pressure from their classmates-and no real guidance from their indifferent parents-they start a tentative friendship with the black children.

That growing relationship, however, is jeopardized when the black children's father is arrested for a crime he didn't commit.

The only way to clear their friends' father, who must now defend himself in court, is for an eyewitness to come forward with the truth-before it's too late.
