 lm\, a Black teen from DC\, whose mom is worried about his safety over the
  summer and sends him to stay with his father&rsquo\;s family on their far
 m in Mississippi.&nbsp\; Part of the farm had been taken through eminent d
 omain for a highway some years prior and now the state is threatening to t
 ake the rest of it even though there is an option to take some of the farm
  across the road.&nbsp\; Malcolm isn&rsquo\;t all that worried about it un
 til he is transported back in time to the Reconstruction Era as his ancest
 or Cedric\, an aide to Senator Hiram Revels\, one of the first Black membe
 rs of Congress.&nbsp\; Malcolm and readers learn about the Black heroes of
