Description

Set deep in the Jim Crow south during the Civil Rights era, Preacha! presents the idea of intra-racial bigotry as an evil which was at times more virulent than the prevailing racism of the day. The protagonist in this story is a handsome young African American boy named Preacha, who loves the Lord; and who finds himself fighting bigotry from without as well as bigotry from within his own race, as the love he desires to give is belittled and rejected by his extremely fair skinned and beautiful grandmother, because his skin is dark. In Preacha! you'll find a ten year old girl who is infatuated with the title character and dreams that her love will be returned; a young seamstress who seems trapped in mediocrity by her lack of education and social graces; a schoolteacher raising her daughter in the shadow of her just released, ex-convict husband; the forbidden love of a white man and a black woman; and the trials that Preacha and his family suffer, including a heartbreaking loss. In the backdrop of the problems of the others, is Preacha's relationship with his grandmother, which seems to have come to a hopeless end. However in a dramatic twist, he gains ground when he saves his grandmother from certain death. His steadfast faith in God is rewarded when the wall of division between them is finally torn down and he learns of the secret fears and pain behind his grandmother's hatred of him. This opens the way to healing and a new beginning for the two; and at last Preacha receives the answer to his prayers--the love of his grandmother; and the added blessing of the love of a certain young girl. Preacha! heroically shows that the love which God places inside of us can be our greatest weapon against hatred.
