The Flight of a Thousand Songbirds

The Coleman family’s courage to face the unknown takes them on a journey of determination, drama, heartbreak, triumph, and love defined by choices as they joined millions during the Great Migration in search of better opportunities. Their courage and passion compelled them to follow their heart’s desires, leading to a life-altering discovery. 

The story partially follows the impactful journey of Hall of Famer and Olympic Gold Medalist Spencer Haywood. The young and talented Xavier Coleman, the youngest son of KeShawn Coleman, experiences success and disappointment. Still, his love of his chosen profession propels him to an audacious and unshrinking determination to succeed. His successful court battle with the NBA paved the way and made it possible for others to enter the league before graduation from college.
