This moving, landmark independent drama and love story focuses on the struggles of a young working-class black man from the south. Duff Anderson (Dixon) is determined to live up to his responsibilities as a husband, father, and worker, despite being persistently faced with the racial and class bigotry of others. When he falls in love with the middle-class minister’s daughter Josie (Lincoln), not all of Duff’s problems are solved.
