A STORY OF LOVE, HEARTBREAK AND FINDING A WAY TO THE FUTUREBern Gresham begins his teaching career as the first white teacher in an all black, small town school in the Mississippi Delta during the Civil Rights Movement. The story details the racial conflicts and divided culture that permeated the times and that persists even today. The Delta's complicated and unique juxtaposition of beauty and brutality is presented with both the eye opening candor of a love/hate relationship and an empathetic sadness that the times and attitudes of the 60's still dictate life there where the "Past is the Present, and the Present is lived to ensure the Future doesn't change either of them."
