This gripping drama tells the story of four Black "sisters" - among some 20-40 thousand Black men, women and children - who left the deep South in the late 1800s and developed the all Black town of Nicodemus, Kansas. All goes well until the younger sister returns from London with her mulatto husband who attempts to sell her share of the property to land speculators.
 
Director - Eileen Morris
