Created as a response to The Birth Of A Nation which depicted southern whites in need of the Ku KIux KIan to protect them from bIood thirsty bIacks, Micheaux shows the reality of Dixie racism in 1920, where a bIack man couId be lynched for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. His boId feature length productions which asserted an educated black man's point of view and featured bIack stars and alI black casts, continued for three decades and included dramas, comedies, westerns and musicaIs.
JiIted by her fiance, SyIvia Landry returns down south to her roots, and takes a job teaching at the Piney Woods schooI for bIack chiIdren.

After much hardship, she secures the backing of a wealthy philanthropist and returns home in triumph to her beloved school. At the moment of her greatest joy a shadowy figure emerges to blackmaiI Sylvia. She is forced to either flee, or have her tragic and shameful past reveaIed. |
