Ryder Strong

He was released, but Dr. King is still in custody.

Jimmy and Willie then arrive and they were released from jail as well.

The three want to register more voters, knowing that even just one can make a difference, but decide to eat first at the West's house.

Back in Miss Bright's class, the teacher mentions their discussion about freedom the other day and says, as a result, the teachers voted to march.

So class has been canceled.

The class celebrates and follow their teacher to the church to help make a statement.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Potts has been alerted about the walkout.

And since he thinks the teachers are, quote, the smartest blacks in town, he wonders if they've all gone crazy.

Back outside the courthouse, the teachers are singing in unison as the mayor and sheriff watch on from across the street.

The mayor doesn't want any problems from these highly regarded members of their community, but the sheriff argues they're still unlawfully gathered.

But since the teachers being thrown in jail would be terrible optics, the mayor instructs the sheriff to just let them protest.

Now, on their day off from school, Cheyenne and Rachel are outside the courthouse waiting in a long line for a colored water fountain.

Cheyenne notices that no one's waiting at the white fountain, so she cautiously tiptoes over with her cup and starts to fill it.

That's when a nearby white kid calls her a very horrible slur and knocks the cup out of her hand.

Cheyenne runs back to Rachel and joins Miss Bright in the protest.

The teacher is thankful for Cheyenne's interest in voting and freedom.

She's already made a real difference at their school.

Now, later in the day, Cheyenne and Rachel are doing schoolwork outside.

Cheyenne wants her parents to join the movement so badly.

So when Jonathan arrives, Cheyenne asks him to help her in her recruitment of her dad.
