Earl Sanders, a black man from Washington, DC, is the only one worthy enough to dedicate the new library in his S. Ga. home county. He is the only one to go away and make good. But nobody, black or white, is willing to put him up for the night but a bitter, old black lady who wants to know one thing: why would he come back after he finally got out of these turpentine woods?
