Tekst Storyboardowy
- Stella and Loretta are continuing their argument about something Kennedy said to Loretta’s daughter, “‘No, I understand,” Loretta said. “ I don’t blame her. It all comes from the home, see.

Stella didn't want Kennedy playing with the Walkers' daughter because she didn't want other people in the neighborhood to think that Stella is Black.
- What are some key things Stella says?
