    About this series

    In early 1900s America, rail worker Huey takes his union work with the early American Railway Union to another level by traveling to Germany and Russia, helping oppressed people.

     

    Huey encounters forces that would lead Europe into a world war. His actions defuse some of those causes. Militarism in Germany, lack of justice in Russia, banking interests in France and England, and the imperialism in Asia.

     

    Returning to America, he is torn between using either nonviolent or violent tactics. Huey finds conflict resolution and brings the AFL together with the Wobblies. Then he turns the Supreme Court away from aiding Wall Street. In the process, Huey helps Eugene Debs become President in 1908.

      A Georgia slave in 1830 finds a seed can be used to topple the plantation system. He controls his rage and starts a chain of events where his son changes history. Luther, a resourceful slave in 1830 controls his anger when he meets Moses, a British Black Freeman who seeks to bring down the plantation system. Moses has ties to a British bank and his connection leads Luther and Luther's son Sharpy to bring Georgia cotton seeds to Egypt. Sharpy with his descendants use nonviolence to change Africa. The struggle goes from Egyptian growers who flood the US cotton market. In the process they start a self-sustaining Black Power that denies the Suez Canal to Europe's military. Yet Sharpy has to return to America to encounter a new slavery in the factory system where he organizes strikes to raise the image of former slaves in the minds of White America. Sharpy finds a new threat looming from the banking industry striving for White businesses and war.
