- Glory Be by Augusta Scattergood
- EXPOSITION: Life in Mississippi during "Freedom Summer"
- RISING ACTION: Community Pool Closes
- POOL CLOSEDFOR REPAIRS
- It is the summer of 1964 in Hanging Moss, MS. Everywhere around Glory, things are changing. Northerners are coming to town to help with civil rights, her friendship with Frankie is strained, and her sister is suddenly too cool to hang out with her. When the community would rather close the pool than let black people swim in it, Glory knows things will only get worse before they get better.
- CLIMAX: The Pool Gets Broken Into
- She did not, and you know it!
- Your Yankee friend did it!
- Glory is 11 years old, and she is learning all about injustice, racism, and how cruel people can be towards one another. Life in the South during the 1960s was a time of great turmoil, especially in Mississippi. Glory and her friends must learn how to navigate through racism, dishonesty, cruelty, and standing up for what they believe in.
- FALLING ACTION: The Fight
- You don't belong here, Yankee! Go home!
- When the community pool closes before Glory's 12th birthday, Glory knows it's not because it has cracks that need to be repaired. The community voted that they would rather have no pool than have an integrated pool. Meanwhile, more and more people are coming from the North to help fight for equal rights in Mississippi. The town is truly divided.
- RESOLUTION: Stay True to What You Believe
- Thank you for having me, Miss Bloom.
- Welcome, Emma.
- The pool is broken into and Laura is blamed. Glory knows that Laura was set up, and it becomes very clear that tensions are running extremely high in the town.
- When J.T. finds out about Robbie getting arrested in North Carolina for sticking up for his black friend, he and his friends beat Robbie up and even pull out a knife. They call him all kinds of names, including "Freedom Rider". The girls take Robbie back to the house and tell Emma everything. Emma is proud of the kids for doing what's right.
- Leave him alone, J.T.!
- Miss Bloom invites Emma to the party at the library, and it's clear that some of the town folks are not pleased. When people stand up for Emma, it is clear that the town is becoming more united in standing up against segregation and racism. Although Glory and Jesslyn are sad that Laura and Robbie have left town, they become close again, and know that they always have each other.
