Deacons for Defense

This drama is based on a true story and takes place in 1965, shortly after the Civil Rights Act was passed. Despite the Act, African-Americans in Bogalusa are still treated as second-class citizens, with their basic human rights consistently violated by the white power structure in general and the local chapter of the KKK. The story follows the formation of a group of local black men, particularly ex-war veterans, who, after the struggles become too overwhelming, form "Deacons for Defense," an all-black defense group dedicated to patrolling the black section of town and protecting its residents from the more violent aspects of "white backlash."
