Mr. Bojangles

Michael P. McShane

0/5 ( ratings)

When a Caucasian girls basketball coach at an inner-city elementary school is accused of racism against Whites, residents of the hood galvanize around him, but only until an unscrupulous reporter unearths a racial incident buried deep in Bill Jensen's past. The hood quickly turns against him, and his reputation lies in tatters. The state governor continues spewing divisive racial rhetoric as Bill's well-publicized hearing approaches. Bill, known as Mr. Bojangles for the way he can dance, or as the school kids say, "the way he can cut it, shake it, mix it, and bake it," is left to accept what little backing he can find from whatever source available. His most loyal supporter is also his most unexpected. It's up to them to stem the growing tide of racial unrest before the neighborhood explodes into a full-blown riot; but can they? With powerful forces at play against them, are they too late? If so, who pays the price--and how?Mr. Bojangles flips the script on traditionally accepted views on race relations. In the end, the only thing truly black and white are the pages from which the story is told.ultimate
