Making Do: Growing Up Colored in the Jim Crow South During the Great Depression

• Racial Fissures. • Economic Collapse. • Global Uncertainty.

But this is 1940!

The story follows a young Black couple who seek to navigate life and love in one of the most turbulent times in U.S. history. While their paths collide on the streets of Bessemer, Alabama, they must first confront the tangible fears of the Jim Crow south, the Great Depression and their nation poised on the brink of World War II, before realizing the love they seek. Will they brave this challenging period -- with faith in God, friends and family -- to become a resilient and confident couple able to conquer fear and triumph over life's uncertainties?
