Synopsis... and along the way we get some racism, anti-gay hate, father/son conflict, senior regret, and wisdom. In other words, the trip does not go smoothly, and the travelers do not display the unity that the March was supposed to cultivate.

But that's ok, because it feels real-ish, and looking at personal stories is a good way to illuminate the political event. I don't want to give details. This is another worthwhile SL effort.
