South Bend to Spring Valley: The Davids-Sims Story

The social and political unrest that defined the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s provided a turbulent backdrop for a burgeoning interracial friendship between two families: one Black - the Sims, and one white - the Davids... and it all started with a single letter. South Bend to Spring Valley: The Davids-Sims Story chronicles the journey of these two extraordinary families as they build a faith-based fellowship that would defy the times and shine a much-needed spotlight on racial discrimination. Their compelling true story unfolds via heartfelt correspondence and acts of genuine kindness, untainted by prejudice. Though their motives and deeds were often called into question via hate mail and unsavory public interactions, their belief in each other never wavered. The Davids and Sims really did judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, and the blueprint for racial harmony they forged is as relevant today as it was then.
