The story

In Oxford, North Carolina, the county seat of a tobacco district, a black Vietnam-era veteran is beaten in 1970 by three white men, and shot dead by one of them. An all-white jury acquits the two defendants who were indicted. The plot focuses on two characters: a local African-American high-school teacher, who recently returned to the town from college and organizes the black community to march to the state capital to protest the unjust verdict, and a white minister, who loses much of his congregation because of his racially-liberal views during the Civil Rights Era.
