BURIED VOICES
An ambitious black janitor and activist in 1902 Alabama is stripped of his hard won right to vote and decides to fight back. With the help of Booker T. Washington and a hot tempered New York black attorney determined to bring justice to the south, the three of them launch a historic legal battle that pits them directly against the established political powerhouse and the KKK.
