Play :: A passionate evocation of Black struggle in the Southern states, Walking to Obama vividly recaptures pre-civil rights America. An investor hatches a brutal scheme in an epic fight over land that has been in Merla Parker's family for generations. Falsely accused of the battery of her husband, Merla is thrown into prison. Exposed to the worst depravities, she struggles to maintain her dignity, her family and the land.
