He mentions that they've already lost one daughter to this movement.
And with that, they go inside and soak his sore muscles from his day at work.
But first, he swings by Cheyenne's bedroom and she's wide awake, having trouble falling asleep.
She wishes her dad was involved in the movement like Rachel's dad is.
Her dad just wants her to stay safe and says the movement will get along fine without her.
Meanwhile, Reverend Jonathan arrives at the church to work with Willie and is welcomed by a handful of Klan members about to light a cross on fire in the front yard.
He jumps out of his car and screams for them to stop.
They ignore his pleas and light the cross on fire anyway.
One masked man tells the reverend they don't like outsiders and he slowly approaches him.
Now at the police station, the officers laugh off the reverend's claim.
They swear there hasn't been Klan in Selma for over 20 years.
He begs them to go check out the cross at the chapel, but they warn him not to stir up trouble in the name of voter registration.
And then the cops just drown him in busy work, making it impossible for him to file a report.
A defeated Reverend Jonathan eventually leaves the station and runs into Sally from the church.
He tells her about the Klan, and she says the town just turns a blind eye to their existence.
He promises Dr. King will bring change to Selma.
Sally calls him idealistic and warns him to be careful.
And now a crowd has gathered at the chapel's smoldering cross.
