Then the first Negro to win the Congressional Medal of Honor’s report is followed by a post Civil War Frederick Douglass speech. Moving into modern times, the play depicts an anti drug Malcolm X scene, succeeded by a puppet show debate between Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois. A song about Martin Luther King, Jr. leads to a 1970's Haki R. Madhubuti recitation on self determination. The play then closes with President Barack Obama's Philadelphia "race" speech.
