WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF WHEN NOTHING CAN HURT YOU? EVERYTHING. It's 1930's America and Jim Crow is flying high. Black people's right to a job, a vote, or even their lives, are all at risk from the whims of whites. So, what would it take to balance the scales of justice? A miracle. Meet Mo Crawford of Tuskegee, Alabama. Fifteen years old, nearly seven-feet tall, totally bulletproof, and more interested in being a farmer than anyone's savior.
