The result is an extremely listenable and incisive work filled up with tragedy and triumph, a resonant narrative informed by Coleman's singular life experience and his candor in speaking hard truths. In 1963, Coleman's mom was engaged in the civil privileges struggle in Oklahoma, taking part in lunch-counter sit-ins and presentations and the historic March on Washington. Around the bus to Washington she decided to sell her home within an all-white suburb to a black doctor. This resulted in her unlawful incarceration in a mental establishment as a means to stop the sale and silence her carrying on activism. Five years later, prompted by the assassination of Martin Luther Ruler, Coleman initiated his own civil disobedience in protest to the Vietnam War. His take action of defiance serendipitously created an possibility to free his mom. Coleman s experiences, and the ones of his mom, provide a zoom lens through which to view one of the very most tumultuous ages of the twentieth century.
