- Synopsis
- Descended from slaves and born to black farmers, Anita Hill shares the stories of her own family's quest for home, from her great grandmother who was born into slavery to her own flight from the nest of small-town Oklahoma. As well as discussing art and media, such as Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun and the TV show The Jeffersons, Hill tells the stories of hairdressers, single mums, and her own siblings. She draws on literature, popular culture, and personal experience to argue that equality cannot be achieved merely by fighting for rights; it must be repositioned at the heart of the American Dream.
