Educational inequalities between children of white and African American communities. African American students and teachers standing outside a dilapidated house donated by the Mt. Arat Baptist Church. House is being refurbished as a school.

Pupils of this school are seen gathering on the front porch of the school, which has limited basic infrastructure and inadequate facilities, including no toilets for the students. (As the students and teachers gather on the porch, the last man walking out behind them and crossing the porch is Thurgood Marshall, who was documenting these conditions on film during a trip together with Charles Hamilton Houston).
