An interview is presented with former newspaper reporter Joan Mazzolini. Mazzolini discusses her 1990 interview with Hall Thompson, founder of Shoal Creek Golf Club in Birmingham, Alabama in which Thompson admitted the club discriminated against African Americans. She states that Thompson was attempting to be honest during the interview.
