Act 2 scene VII... breakfast at delaney house
Scene opens with Zeda and Faith sitting at a lunch table. There is a stark contrast in environment, whereas before Zeda had been the sole black female surrounded by a group of white kids, every other kid in this scene is black. There is loud ruckis as everyone is speaking loudly at once. When the boys enter into the cafeteria the girls get silent. The boys are dressed in baggy atire typical of african american youth in the 90's
Samuel is in the middle of the line. He is more bruised than when he left Crossroads, his lip is busted.
