Determined to live freely and without fear, they face fierce opposition from White America, who resents their presence and seeks to maintain racial barriers in the neighborhood. Walter becomes a prominent figure in the civil rights movement, rallying the African American residents of West Adams Berklee Hills and gathering support from allies within and outside the community.
