The story of two larger-than-life personalities from one humble corner of the Missippi Delta: the senator, James O. Eastland, a fabulously wealthy cotton planter and the sharecropper, Fannie Lou Hamer, who grew up desperately poor a few miles from Eastland's plantation. Asch charts the epic struggle for black equality in the 20th century by telling the story of the two deeply intertwined life histories of the staunch segregationist senator and his sharecropper nemesis.

From Wikipedia: "James Oliver Eastland (November 28, 1904 February 19, 1986) was an American politician and white supremacist from Mississippi who served in the United States Senate as a Democrat in 1941; and again from 1943 until his resignation December 27, 1978. He compiled a conservative record in support of the Conservative coalition. A wealthy plantation owner, Eastland was best known nationally as a symbol of Southern support of racial segregation in most of his years in the Senate." From Wikipedia: "Fannie Lou Hamer (born Fannie Lou Townsend; October 6, 1917 March 14, 1977) was an American voting rights activist, civil rights leader, and philanthropist. She was instrumental in organizing Mississippi's Freedom Summer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and later became the vice-chair of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which she represented at the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey."
