Summary:
The real-life inspiration for "The Nickel Boys" by Colson Whitehead. The author, one of many boys suffering verbal, sexual, and physical abuse at the hands of their caretakers, tells the story of his boyhood years in the Florida Industrial School for Boys in Marianna. A group of the "white house boys" has promised to learn the truth and see justice served.
