The never-aging lovers tiff as Clem takes up the cause of the Negro, while Georgina relentlessly pursues her personality cult to stardom. In a phenomenally unsurprising ending, Clem, now a civil rights leader, clinches with Georgina, who has tasted the empty celebrity worship of white sycophants...
