Leader Jones’ father was a legend in the civil rights movement, and Leader intends to follow in his footsteps — give that one big speech, galvanize the people! But nobody understands why he’s living with “the slummies,” and his brother’s involvement with a shady hair-product deal may bring him down. A nothing-sacred social satire which targets the struggle to find political meaning in a world of hype.
