A popular verse from the Bible states, “And a little child shall lead them.” That passage speaks about how an innocent child untainted by the perils of the world can lead a whole group of people out of darkness & despair. In this story, that child is Ishmael Roberson the ten year old son of community activist, Sheema Roberson known as Mama Sheema. Those perils Ishmael was chosen to lead black people out of was the web of chaos on the streets of Memphis. A chaos which was produced as a result of years of racism and the unjustified killings of black people. After witnessing alone of those killings, Ishmael becomes a target and is bound to silence by the very people who vowed to serve and protect their community. The only wrinkle in the rotten machine’s plan was the strong forces that Ishmael had behind him. Soon, a civil war ensued followed by a revolution that was decades in the making! That revolution was televised, and is now being transcribed and emphasized in this riveting tale.
