Although zip code places him in a Bronx tenement pre 'rise of Obama', Tony Johnnson’s sights are set far beyond the trappings of a humble upbringing. Collegiate dreams combined with falling in love with a white classmate put him strongly at odds with his father. Seeing unrealized goals reincarnated in the eyes of his eldest son remind Lionel of what once could have been, and of what went wrong. When his job and role as primary breadwinner are lost, Lionel's authority erodes and he drowns disappointment one drink at a time. Throughout the course of a tumultuous year, Tony comes to learn that the world is not as black and white as he and his father's opposing mindsets would suggest. 2012 B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree
