A Christmas Sampling Christopher Darrick Odom

The story of Ebenezer Scrooge is brought forward into the twenty first century and flipped on its ethnic feet. Ebenezer is evolved into Preston Prescott who epitomizes the unspoken ugliness of self-inflected abomination of community. Preston is best described as a vary fair African American with a freckled face. He is the consummate connoisseur concerning; "The Brown Paper Bag Test," in African-American oral history was a form of racial discrimination practiced within the African-American community by comparing an individual's skin tone to the color of a brown paper bag. This is what our Preston Edgar Prescott will have to face, sense and overcome from his ghostly visitors.
