In 2006, Kabin Thomas – a 43 year-old, black Music Appreciation Professor at The  University of Arkansas whose classes all had wait lists and a 90% attendance record – was fired  after a white student complained about the use of profanity and a graphic image depicting a  lynching in one of his lessons. This is the story of how he lost himself and then found his way  back.
