In a film that works as series of living portraits, twenty prominent African Americans of various professions, disciplines and backgrounds offer their own stories and insights on the struggles, triumphs and joys of black life in this country and manage to re-define blacklist for a new century in the process. The film is presented as a series of vignettes a kind of living portraiture in which the subjects address the camera directly as they tell their stories.
