A song flung up to heaven opens as Maya Angelou returns from Africa to the United States to work with Malcolm x. But first she has to journey to California to be reunited with her mother and brother. No sooner does she arrive there than she learns Malcolm x has been assassinated. Devastated she tries to put her life back together working on the stage in local theaters and even conducting a doortodoor survey in Watts. Then Watts explodes in violence.
