None of the interviewees are identified. Interviewees include a man working in the health department, a man describing a intravenous drug use and how drug use affects babies, a Muslim discussing his religion, a man commenting on how slavery and religion affect the contemporary African American family unit, a Black high school girl and a White boy discussing their inter-racial relationship and the reactions of their friends, family, and communities.
