A shot of an urban street with a car driving down, pans over to sidewalk with a voiceover describing black liberation tactics - teaching young black children to demand what is owed to them and to not take no for an answer. The shot shows a a classroom full of young black children (a year old to 5 years old) being taught by a black man (John Churchville). He teaches them concepts (math, history, etc) and also the emotional armor to help them handle the resistance they will face in a call and response fashion. Churchville asks a toddler what she wants; she answers freedom. He asks her if she can wait until next week, and she sweetly replies yes and then sits down. He then asks a young boy (clearly older) the same question, and he answers no; when asked again if he will wait until next week, he insists no.
