Discrepancies between the schools of African Americans and whites, including government funding, in South Carolina.

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. Charts depict that the state government provides only the small salary to the teachers and nothing for facilities at the school for black students. 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). Next scene shows a building close to this school that is not in use but has not been given to the black school. Views of nearby school for white students called Richberg School (or possibly Richburg School), 2 miles away, which enjoys good facilities.
