The Eighth Round with Zeke Wilson

  • Colleton Museum & Farmers Market 506 East Washington Street Walterboro, SC, 29488 United States (map)

The Eighth Round is a true story based on the life of Zeke Wilson, who took on a battle that became the federal precedent for all legal findings of same-race discrimination.

The story involves a common man who found himself faced with racial discrimination. It tells of his struggle and triumph, involving important and timely social issues raised through the misuse of authority by both black and white government officials.

"Whenever and wherever you are confronted by injustice, fight it. Don't believe that you can't because you lack money, education, and power. Stand up and fight for the rights that were earned for us at a high price -- whether that injustice comes from the local, state, or federal government, or from private citizens." - Zeke Wilson
