Classic Serial: Tradition

on BBC Radio 4 FM

An epic drama by Charles W Chesnutt, adapted in two parts by Cheryl Martin, about the destiny of two sisters, separated by class and colour. The white Carteret family are concerned that their new baby boy's future is looking disturbingly multi-cultural. The black Miller family are split over the opportunities for their own son and whether he should be raised in a town filled with such growing racial tension.

(Repeated on Saturday at 9pm)
