But Josias and the Logans are black, and in Mississippi in the 1930s, black people can't ride the bus if that means there won't be enough room for white people to ride.

Samantha Spinner's Uncle Paul disappeared, and here's what he left:
* Samantha's sister got a check for $2,400,000,000.

* And Samantha got a rusty red umbrella with a tag hanging off its worn handle. The tag says "Watch out for the RAIN."
Thanks a lot, Uncle Paul.
