This is the story of two students and the complexities of race and privilege.
In 1965 Jimmie transferred his senior year from an all-Black high school to an affluent white high school in Charlotte - he was their first Black football star. That decision swept him into one of North Carolina's most volatile civil rights cases, played out at the explosive intersection of football and race.
