"The Word Begins is an exciting journey with two young men as they struggle to come to terms with belief and morality in America today. They take on race relations, religion, sexuality, love, and the power of mass communication--among other great American isues. ... Steve Connell and Sekou travel rapidly through the sometimes chaotic and confusing world of what the national landscape of politics, purpose, and passion looks like to a young white man and a young Black man."
