Everyone’s favorite region of the U.S., as Matt teases in part 1. Maybe not, but it could be the most mythologized (though not represented). Beyond being the origin of a Lion King joke none of us got as kids, In the Heat of the Night leaves front-and-center the matter from which Southern identity can never escape: race. Tim talks Daughters of the Dust, a hyper-specific look at the Gullah of the lowlands, and The Member of the Wedding, a broader encapsulation of Southern identity, as replacements for understanding this complex and proud region.
