A rather sweet romance set in the mid-1960's that features NO white people at all!  Brooklyn native Anita supports Malcolm X and falls for M.L. King organizer Jason, fresh up from Atlanta and new to city life. The history and the setting seem real, the two young folks and their families are people you can warm to and like and admire.  All in all a satisfying trip down memory lane.
