Synopsis
Perhaps no town has experienced the racial divide in America as much as Jasper, Texas. The lynching of James Byrd Jr. in 1998 revealed the deep division between the Black community and their white counterparts. The legacy of slavery runs deep in Jasper; most Blacks have a clear kinship to their slave ancestors, and many have suffered from the ravaging effects of Jim Crow racism. Jasper is a place where Blacks make up the majority of the population but lack the same representation in government.
