Their resolve did not die

It was 1865. The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution saw the end of slavery. Whitford Plummer, a black man, born in bondage in 1842 in Falmouth, Virginia, headed north to New Jersey as a free man.

His son, Scott, years later battled a raging hostile environment to become a sharecropper and landowner. But Scott and his wife, in 1934, were brutally murdered. Their killers vanished into thin air.

Vander Lee and Craig Plummer, sons of the deceased, inherited the five-acre farm, unaware that their battle with Jim Crow and a white hate group was about to take shape.
