Theo bekommt die Chance, seine Geschichtsnote zu verbessern. Übers Wochenende soll er einen missratenen Aufsatz überarbeiten. Eltern und Großeltern fühlen sich aufgerufen, an dem Werk mitzuwirken. Schließlich gibt es in der Familie Zeitzeugen.
Theo writes a report on the March on Washington, but gets a poor grade and is asked to redo his project. Much to his surprise he learns more about the march from his family than he did from books. Meanwhile Vanessa is worried about asking a boy to the turn-around dance. Earle Hyman as Russell. Clarice Taylor as Anna. Joe Williams as Al Hanks. Ethel Ayler as Carrie Hanks.
Vanessa non sa come invitare un ragazzo che le piace alla serata "Turnaround Dance": è troppo preoccupata al pensiero di essere scaricata. Intanto, Theo deve svolgere un difficile compito di scuola: riscrivere un articolo di giornale relativo alla marcia per i diritti civili svoltasi a Washington nel 1963.
