Based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name, this series provided a hopeful, yet honest look at life in the new South.

Series star Carroll O'Connor, in a role far removed from Archie Bunker, served as executive producer. Using the pen name Matt Harris, Mr. O'Connor was also the story editor and wrote many of the episodes.
