Overview
This story takes place in the State of Mississippi during the 1930s. Many of the cotton pickers have a third-grade education and, because of the depression, have little chance of escaping their hard life. The lynching of a young black man is nothing more than entertainment and a distraction in their dull existence. Prejudice is a way of life. J.D. is a born mechanic whose goal is to leave the boredom of the cotton fields and go north in order to better himself. He, and other characters, give us a peek into small-town America and its intrigue. If J.D. achieves his goal, its because of his innate self-confidence. Hate, love and humor adds the salt to the stew. J.D.s conversion comes slowly as he realizes prejudice comes from hate and an uncompromising mind.
