We witness the collision of two worlds in this episode, as the purveyors of communist ideology emerged in mid-19th-century London and began their assault on the Christian ethic that had long undergirded Western civilization. The cast delves into the horrific consequences that followed as Communism took root in Russia, unleashing a wave of devastation and human suffering. The story then turns to the early 20th century, when American communists sought to replicate this revolutionary model—just as black Americans were achieving significant social and economic progress and racial barriers were beginning to crumble. It was a moment of hope which Marxist forces aimed to subvert and undermine, determined in their mission to redirect that progress toward their own ideological, ungodly ends.
