'White peoples maybe mistreats you an' hates you, but when you hates 'em back, you's de one what's hurted, 'cause hate makes yo' heart ugly - that's all it does'Sandy's in the fifth grade when he's forced to sit on the back row away from his white classmates and denied entry to a new amusement park.
His grandmother, who is raising him alongside his mother and aunt, tells him that love is the only thing to make room for in his heart.
