Legendary director William Wyler (The Collector, Ben-Hur) concluded his filmmaking career with The Liberation of L.B. Jones, a searing indictment of institutional racism starring Lee J Cobb (The Dark Past), Anthony Zerbe (The Omega Man), and Roscoe Lee Browne (Cisco Pike).

When Black funeral director L B Jones (Browne) finds that his pregnant wife Emma (Lola Falana) is having an affair with white policeman Worth (Zerbe), he demands a divorce. Worth and his racist colleagues exact brutal revenge upon Jones, and conspire to cover up their actions with the assistance of the local District Attorney (Cobb)

With supporting performances from Barbara Hershey (Hannah and Her Sisters) and Yaphet Kotto (Blue Collar), and with a screenplay by Jesse Hill Ford (adapting his own novel) and Stirling Silliphant (Murphys War), The Liberation of L.B. Jones is a shocking tale of intolerance and injustice.
