The Epiphany at Lancaster: An Awakening tells a story about the always changing attitudes on race in America.
I reckon we showed them kids, old Jeffie. Things just ain't been right since that damned Brown Law went into effect. Worse still, that no-good President Johnson saying we had to be courteous to them Negro folk in governmental situations. What's all that about?
The novel takes place at the end of the Vietnam War, a period of great civil strife. There were mass protests on America's streets, while the Flower Power generation spoke of free love. There were also new attitudes in the younger generation concerning interracial dating.
Older white parents framed their attitudes on race based on old ways of thinking. The changing attitudes of the time brought new thinking to the younger generation of both races.
Two young kids who don't see any of the things their grandparents and parents see, only find love for the family they were born into.
