This film features interviews with the descendants of victims and perpetrators of trumped-up crimes in the Deep South intended to create a captive force of unpaid labor. University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Will Jones will show selected excerpts from the film and moderate a post-screening discussion.

This is the last in a series of four films the Society is hosting to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Mississippi Freedom Summer and the 1964 passage of the Civil Rights Act.
