Mr. Bridges is sitting on the couch watching a news report about the proposed racial mixing in the New Orleans public schools, which is set to begin on Monday.
The attorney general has warned the governor, James Davis, not to interfere with the federal court's order to desegregate the schools.
Davis, however, is vowing to preserve segregation despite the warning.
Mr. Bridges shuts off the TV and tells his wife that he isn't sure about all this.
She's not going to let it scare her, though.
The federal government means more than the state and stuff like this.
But Mr. Bridges questions why they'd send Ruby somewhere she isn't even wanted.
If she did so good in that test, that means she's doing just fine where she is.
Mrs. Bridges argues that black schools just aren't as good as the white ones.
Dr. Broyard said Ruby has what it takes to go far, and this could make things better for all children of color.
Now in a crowded church, everyone is singing and celebrating.
And the one little boy who is singing in this choir is crushing it.
It was just amazing hearing this little kid sing.
It was like, man, it was really remarkable.
The preacher talks about how every day there is something new to keep them oppressed, but they will rise up and persevere.
Church then lets out, and now Ruby and Allison are walking home, talking about how she's going to a new school tomorrow and even gets to ride in a car.
Allison is going to a Catholic school soon, and she isn't even Catholic.
Ruby promises she'll still see Allison and jokes she'll still whoop her butt in baseball.
The next morning at Ruby's house, Abon is eating breakfast and Ruby is just adorably staring at him.
