In the 1920s and 30s, an ultra-violent sect of the KKK called the Black Legion ran rampant in the Midwest. When a proud black man and activist moved his family to Lansing, Michigan to escape death threats from white supremacists, he had no idea he was walking into a snake pit. The violence that ensued destroyed a family and shaped the life of a man who went on to shake the world.
