It is August 28, 1968, the day of the Freedom March on Washington, D.C. Everyone in town is going---except Isaac Stone. His father, a bitter Korean War veteran, forbids it. Nonviolence is the same as cowardice, he says. But Stone has heard Martin Luther King, Jr., preach, and he wants to follow in his footsteps. He is sure he will change his father's mind---until their church is bombed and two of his classmates are killed. Can Stone conquer his own anger and live up to his dream?
