This story is about America's people. As it demonstrates how vision, tenacity and courage can help strong people prevail over seemingly insurmountable odds, it is also a testament to the human spirit, wherever it is found.

HAVING OUR SAY can be understood on different levels - as a story that celebrates America's people; as pointed commentary about prejudice, discrimination and social injustices; as a good story, told well; as an example of living history; and as theatrical and filmic experiences.
