The Shameful Event History Chose To IgnoreResponding to a poignant plea for help, Rom Decker and his wife Cassie return to Louisiana and become embroiled in a political firestorm. White landowners are attempting to prevent recently freed slaves from voting or holding elective office in order to maintain the cheap source of labor they so desperately require. In addition, unscrupulous opportunists are using the political turmoil to steal a rich plantation from the original owner who happens to be Rom's friend. Rom and Cassie voluntarily put their lives in extreme peril by trying to prevent the Colfax massacre, one of the most disgraceful episodes in the history of our country. They will need all their skills, including Cassie's knowledge of Voodoo arts, to survive.
