Cheyenne wanted all people to be free and happy.
A number of things in this movie just ripped my heart out.
Then she cuts an article about Jimmy out of the newspaper.
The headline reads, one dead after troopers attack civil rights marchers at night.
Just then, her mother walks in and Cheyenne admits she's scared of dying young.
Her mom doesn't get it, so Cheyenne explains, if they can shoot Jimmy, they can shoot anybody here, maybe even me.
Her mom promises no one will hurt her baby, but still warns her to be careful.
In town the next day, Reverend Jonathan spots Father Whitaker and says hello.
Father Whitaker asks what he's been up to, and Jonathan says he's still happily part of the civil rights movement, though he's saddened by what's happened lately.
Father Whitaker heard about Jimmy and agrees it's very sad.
Jonathan explains that by encouraging segregation, he's actually participating in his death.
The father says he doesn't encourage segregation.
He just believes that black people are more comfortable within their own kind.
Jonathan leaves saying he doesn't think God wants people to be divided.
Back at church, Dr. King is concerned because people expect him to lead the march, but he has to work in Washington, D.C.
John and Hosea assure him that they have it covered and people understand.
But it might not even matter because the governor has rescinded their marching permit, claiming it's not in the public interest.
But the mayor is not excited by this proclamation.
