In 1948, 17-year old Mitzi Swan participated in an interracial tennis match to protest the segregationist policies of Baltimore's Druid Hill Park. Mitzi, and other participants in the tennis match, were arrested for violating "park policy." By coincidence the arrest and trial of the tennis players became the subject of H. L. Mencken's last article for The Baltimore Sun. A week after the article was published Mencken had a stroke and never wrote another word. Using archival photos and Mitzi Swan's paintings, this film tells the story of "The Tennis Court Case," and the early civil rights victory that Mitzi and Mencken helped to bring about.—Joseph Christopher Schaub
