High school student Melba Pattillo gets ready for school in the morning. Shots of her in front of a mirror, arranging herself, picking up books, and going to kitchen for breakfast with mother and brother. Having finished, she leaves the table. Footage outside of house, with soldiers waiting for her in the background. She states that she feels good about the integration of Central High School and getting to attend classes there, but is very nervous about it, and that Central HS is closer to her home and offers more courses than she'd been previously offered at her former High School.
