<P> It is 1935 and Waxahachie , Texas is a small , segregated town in the midst of a depression . One afternoon the local sheriff , Royce Spalding , goes to investigate trouble at the rail yards . He dies after being accidentally shot by a young black boy , Wylie . Local white vigilantes tie Wylie to a truck and drag his body through town before hanging him from a tree . </P>
