"Jubilee in the Rear View Mirror" is a comedy-drama about two men of the same age but different color who must share a jail cell in the rural South at the height of the civil rights movement. During Freedom Summer (1964), a young black civil rights worker from the North finds himself incarcerated in a small Mississippi town with a white racist. At first, the white man acts as if his cell-mate has an infectious disease and uses toilet paper to divide the cell into two halves, making sure the lone toilet is on his side. But he gradually gains respect for the black man, whose demeanor, sophistication and openness in sharing his life experiences gradually breaks down the barriers that initially separated them. This is a compelling story that uniquely reveals the power of the human spirit and the ability of the individual to triumph over inequities in society.

The companion piece, "My Mama Says" is a presentation of writings from well-known African-American women, compiled and produced by Michael Rex.
