While Long will experience his coming-of-age at Walden Pond, his hosts will receive a lesson in human dignity, culminating in a climactic act of civil disobedience.</p> <p>Against this historical backdrop, Lock's powerful narrative examines issues that continue to divide the United States: racism, privilege, and what it means to be free in America.</p>.
