This documentary explores the life and legacy of Dr. Frank "Lee" Hagan at New Jersey City University (formerly Jersey City State Colle) and his surrounding community. The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, African American history and culture, family and faith played significant roles in shaping Dr. Hagan's philosophy and motivation for action. Dr. Hagan's friends and colleagues appearing in this film include Amiri Baraka, Dr. Clement Price, Dr. Judy Miller, Dr. William Maxwell and Professor Ben Jones.

This film seeks to bridge generational divides between younger hip-hop voices, upcoming politicians (Senator Cory Booker), and Dr. Hagan's generation. Where do we go from here? Dr. Hagan's life offers a template for "ordinary" people to effect extraordinary social transformation.
