In this first original television play produced for the ambitious anthology series, Play of the Week (1959-61), Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Reginald Rose (12 Angry Men) unflinchingly tackles the issue of integration. As an African American child enters a white school in the Deep South for the first time, the tense drama unfolds from three different perspectives, including that of a Black family.
