Evette: The River and Me

A Sight to Behold

Gran E takes Bud and Evette on a little road trip to find the swimming hole. She explains that her brother showed Gran E the swimming hole when she was a child so that she could have a private place to swim… away from the racism at the public pool. It was beautiful when Gran E used to swim there.

But when Evette and her family arrive, they’re dismayed to find a polluted mess of trash, abandoned furniture, and old tires. Gran E is so disappointed that just wants to leave right away. Evette realizes that something must change.
