Odessa Cotter (Whoopi Goldberg) and her husband Herbert (Ving Rhames) have three children and she is a maid for Miriam and Norman Thompson (Sissy Spacek and Dwight Schultz), a well-to-do couple. Miriam becomes an activist for the cause while Norman goes the other direction. A good depiction of an important time in American history.
