"The Fire in the Flint" by Walter White is a story from the early 1900's that follows Kenneth B. Harper, a young Black doctor, as he goes back home to Central City, Georgia, ready to start his practice. Expecting a bright future after serving in World War I, he wants to make a difference, but his brother, Bob, doesn't believe things will be easy because of racism. The book shows Kenneth's determination clashing with the harsh reality of the Jim Crow South, where he faces prejudice while trying to gain respect as a doctor in a deeply divided community. Kenneth deals with racial identity, his own ambitions, and the struggle to find his place in a world where the color of his skin matters more than his skills.
