Synopsis

My step-grandfather, militant NAACP president James Myles Hinton, successfully strategized for desegregation during the Jim Crow era, setting up South Carolina as "the first" in many court wins..and often staring down death. He is considered by historians to be the most influential civil rights leader during that time, yet he remains a hidden figure.

I try to unravel the mystery of his buried legacy. Was the FBI involved and is a long held family secret the key?
