This film takes place during the 1950s in the deep South where racial prejudice is an accepted norm and the one drop rule was still boldly and openly enforced. Black girls were expected to lower their eyes in the presence of a white man or woman. In many ways it was a simpler time and yet backward in almost every sense of the word. (Europe WAS much more evolved when it came to race in those days. No wonder black fled there by the droves.)
