Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement in 1964, the story explores the friendship between Joe and John Henry, two boys who share dreams and interests but are separated by racial segregation. While Joe enjoys swimming freely, John Henry is barred from the town pool due to the color of his skin. The passage of a new law allows everyone access, yet the narrative reveals that legal change alone cannot alter deep-seated prejudices. Their journey highlights the challenges of racism and the strength of their bond in the face of societal barriers.
