I Can't Believe

They're Sending

That Little Negro Here.

What Are We Gonna Do!

Take My Child

My Kid Ain't Going

To School With No Jigaboo.

Mama?

Where's The Other Girls

Who Were Supposed To

Come With Me?

[ Miss Woodmere ]

I Didn't Know For Sure

It Was Going To Be Here.

What About The Other Children?

They Told Me

There Was Two More

Supposed To Be Comin'

To School With Ruby Nelle.

Well, I Suppose Their Parents

Had The Good Sense

Not To Put Their Children

Through This.

[ Door Closes ]

Would You-- Hello?

Tell Him To Call Miss Woodmere.

Miss Woodmere,

This Here Woman Says

She's The New Teacher

Supposed To Be Here.

She Don't Look Like

No Teacher, Though.

Yes, Can I Help You?

Yes. Good Morning.

I'm Barbara Henry.

Uh, Superintendent Redmond

Told Me To Report The Principal

For Work Today.

Oh, Not Today.

Not Today.

Downtown And It's, It's Just

Not Sorted Out Just Yet.

Come Back Tomorrow.

Mm-Hmm.

Okay.

[ Door Closes ]

That Ain't Right.

You Sure You Don't Want

Somethin' To Drink, Honey?

[ Bell Ringing ]

She Is Dismissed.

Come On, Baby.

Let's Go.

This School Is Easy,

Mama.
