Wild and an everyday occurrence for black people throughout this country in the south, in the in the 60s.

I mean, just horrible.

Everyone is silent as the cop asked Cheyenne why she's there.

She replies to be free.

Dr. King and Jonathan love her answer.

But the sheriff tells her to go home.

She looks to Jonathan for advice and does end up leaving.

And with that, everyone else is placed under arrest and herded like sheep off to jail.

When Cheyenne returns to school later, Miss Bright is mad again.

Cheyenne reveals she's been marching and Dr. King was arrested.

Her teacher is quick to remind her they don't talk about that stuff in class.

But since Cheyenne is clearly emotional right now, the teacher decides they can broach the subject.

Miss Bright explains that some white people just don't want them to vote because that'll mean that black people could overcome their surroundings and actually make changes.

And white people want to keep their control intact.

She writes freedom on the chalkboard and tell Cheyenne she won't tell her parents that she skipped school.

But Cheyenne proudly says, thank you, ma'am.

I will.

In the jail, policemen have cleared the cells so Dr. King and his black followers can enter.

The next day with the girls at school, Rachel's parents admit that they're proud their daughter wants a better life.

And with that, Jonathan finally returns home from jail.
