Chicago’s working‑class Herlihys watch their three children take very different paths: Brian enlists in the Marines after high school and serves in Vietnam; Michael becomes involved in the civil‑rights movement, campaigns for Bobby Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy, then turns to radical politics; Katie gets pregnant, moves to San Francisco and joins a hippie commune. In the Deep South, the Black Taylor family is shattered when minister and civil‑rights organizer Willie Taylor is killed; his son Emmet moves north, joins the Black Panthers and becomes a bodyguard for Fred Hampton.
