But in America, another bloody, divisive battle rages as stepped-up wartime production lures legions of poor blacks from the rural South to defense jobs in the North-to a so-called \"promised land\" of opportunity. The wartime migration has a profound impact, transforming America's cities into both \"arsenals for democracy\" and cauldrons of racial conflict.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSet against this conflicted backdrop, two men embark on separate journeys to begin a new chapter in their lives.
