"TAKE A GIANT STEP" Johnny Nash, Ellen Holly, Ruby Dee. 12-1-1959. (HD HQ 1080p)

"TAKE A GIANT STEP" Plot summary A black high school senior struggles with becoming a man, and living in a middle class white neighborhood in the late 1950s U.S. In protest of the paternalistic views of the Civil War emphasized in the history class, he storms out and gets caught smoking a cigar in the boy's room. Spencer's crush on a white classmate goes nowhere because of her father's attitude towards blacks. His outspoken grandmother seems the only one who understands his angry growing pains, at the early stages of the U.S. Civil Rights Era.
