His White Woman

Perry Turner, a black vet­eran from Vi­et­nam comes back to New York to find things have changed. His mother has moved to a classier apart­ment, still safe in her black sec­tion, fear­ful of the whites as she al­ways has been. His girl­friend of old with whom he thought everything was over awaits him with more than open arms.

Walk­ing the streets on his first night back for a month‘s leave, he runs into Al, his old buddy from school. With Al is Vicky, a sweet white girl who catches Perry‘s eye at first sight. He knows that there are forces pulling them to­gether from that in­stant, but the forces of so­ci­ety, pre­ju­dice, fear, hatred, and dis­trust pull them apart and hold them aloof more than they want to be.
