Origin
Amasa Coleman Lee (1880 - 1962) was an American politician, lawyer and father of Harper Lee of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' fame. It is often said that the character of Atticus Finch was based off him. Before Lee became a title lawyer his biggest defense case was one where he defended two black men accused of murdering a white storekeeper. After he retired in 1942 he built the house that stayed in the family and most nights Lee would sit on the front porch swing staring off at the land before him.
Effects
While sitting on the porch and staring into the distance an screen appears before their eyes as the entire history of racism plays out in front of you. No one else sees this screen except those sitting on the swing.
