Overview:
In a gray fieldstone house in Nashville, Tennessee, the Reverend Joshua Smith Sr. - the staunch and gentle man known to thousands in black churches throughout the South as the Singing Evangelist and to one white reporter as "the Colored Billy Graham" - is trying to compose his own obituary on what will be the last day of his life. In doing so, he looks back over that life - from his childhood in rural northern Mississippi to the civil rights movement of the 1960s, from tears to humiliation to songs of celebration and triumph.
