Sheryl and her idyllic view of “Down South” begin to change–and even more change is on the way because the Civil Rights Movement is coming to town!

Joining the Civil Rights Movement is dangerous and intimidates some family members, but it pushes Sheryl and her friends to action when she returns to Brooklyn.
