Two men – one a life member of the Ku Klux Klan and the other a white civil rights worker – first met in Greenwood, MS in 1965 and barely avoided ruining each other’s lives. Forty-three years later, they reconnect to explore whether reconciliation is possible. Byron (“Delay”) de la Beckwith Jr. and ex-civil rights worker Paul Saltzman meet several times over a five-year period, beginning in 2007. Delay’s father, Byron de la Beckwith, Sr., was the high-ranking official of the KKK who killed Medgar Evers in 1963.

Speaking to how much has changed and how much things have remained the same, we hear from Harry Belafonte, Morgan Freeman and others on both sides of the racial divide. It’s a story of how relationships can create change, but also a cautionary tale of how far we have to go. There is hope, but the harsh reality is that racism and the KKK still exist 50 years after the Civil Rights Act.
