The movie opens with kids pouring out of a school at the final bell.
All the children we see are black with a focus on two real cute kids, Ruby and Allison.
We're transported to a neighborhood nearby.
The streets are full of people on their porches with kids playing softball or riding their bikes in the streets.
There's a baseball game in progress and one little girl, Ruby, is taking it very, very seriously.
Inside the house, a man in a suit is telling Ruby's mom that her daughter scored very well in the school board exam.
She actually outperformed most of the first graders throughout the entire district.
Back outside, Ruby's dad, Avon, arrives and cheers on his daughter as she slides into home, but it is a close call.
They look to Mrs. Johnson, an elder in the neighborhood, and she says that Ruby is safe.
Avon picks her up in excitement, and the two siblings also join in for the big family hug.
Nearby, Ruby and her dad turn to Mr. Taylor and the other neighbors they know, including a German lady, Miss Stein, who owns a local grocery store.
We're now in the store, and Mrs. Stein chuckles and tells Ruby, who's standing on her tippy toes, that she's grown because last week she couldn't even see over the counter.
Ruby's mom, Lucille, and a man in a suit, Dr. A.C.
Broyard of the NAACP, are finishing up their meeting.
Lucille thanks him for the good news and introduces him to Ruby and Abon, who just got back home.
She's been picked with five other girls to do something no other black children have done in New Orleans.
