This engaging narrative invites students and civic activists alike to reflect on the complexities of privilege and responsibility in a transforming society. With its rich character development and incisive social commentary, "The Highflyers" remains a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience amid the shifting tides of early 20th-century America.
