Shades of Love Tom Facilitator

Shades of Love spins a fictional story of life and prejudice that existed in a small upstate New York university in the turbulent 1960s. Passion erupts between Beth Farley, a White freshman student and Walter Thompson, a Black college Dean of Students. Their lives twist and turn in a romantic struggle as they try to be together. Their desire causes emotional upheaval in the lives of their families and their friends. Will Beth abandon her familys emotional support and wealthy lifestyle or be consumed by her deep desire to fulfill her love? Will Walt risk his familys scorn, and his own long sacrifice to reach the status he has achieved? Or will the desire he feels for unrestrained rapture fuel his need to take a gamble losing his lifelong goal?As Beth and Walt struggle with a raging whirlwind seeking change in what threatens to be a color-sensitive world we follow those who are able to place people before prejudice and the result of those who take a much more narrow attitude.
