    • Synopsis
    • The endearing charm of New Orleans is clouded by Jim Crow segregation and violence in 1935. Ora M. Lewis, a 17 year old Black journalist, dreams of desegregation and freedom. She struggles to earn the trust of Editor Alonzo Willis who is reluctant to publicize her criticism of segregationist New Orleans Mayor Thomas Semmes Walmsley. Ora's timing could not be better when she catches the Mayor in a web of racially motivated violence.
