On June 15th, 1932 a nineteen year old boy was lynched and left hanging from a tree in a white family's yard in Cowansville, Georgia. The police, normally lax in the face of race related crimes, have no choice but to investigate the murder as the owner of the property is one of the most influential people in town. He demands to know who did it and no one dares to go against him. On the other side of the tracks the black community is reeling. Tempers flare as fear fills the hearts of young and old alike, all wanting justice for this young man and his family. The three things every one, regardless of there race, are asking- Who did it? Why? Will they do it again?
