Outstanding Work

This is storytelling at its best. This is a story told as much by its silences as by its sounds. A seething indictment of the banality-and thus, the evil-of capital punishment.

Some Amazing Grace
bkoganbing3 February 2021
Virgil and Althea Tibbs are asked to integrate a main line Protestant church in Sparta and are willing to do it. But some of the congregation don't feel the same way. They get some threats by some of the local rednecks , some of the stupidest I might add. Who could be dumb enough to threaten a cop?

But in fact there are some like that in Sparta. But it goes to a whole new level when the pastor keels over dead during his sermon.

The how is the key here. When Carroll O'Connor figure out the how the who and why fall into place.

All I'll say is the deceased was an idol with feet of clay.
