Strange Fruit #3

Jim drafts more workers, white and black, onto the levee. Mr. McCoy, seeking out Johnson, establishes crude communications by means of higher mathematics. Sonny, trying to make his escape, comes across the missing child James and rescues him at the risk of his own life. But James dies as Sonny returns him to his mother. Shocking even his fellow Klan members, Pickens guns Sonny down, provoking a huge brawl, even as the levee finally breaks.
