An African American young man prepares for a ritual that he has with his grandfather. They spend the first Saturday of every month together and on this Saturday they had planned to participate in a Black Lives Matter protest. Unfortunately, when his grandfather has a heart attack he is stuck reflecting on what his life has been with this his Papa in it. As he sits with him in his emergency room he realizes all of the things that he has learned from him. Seeing that all of the stories he shared were like pieces of his history that he didn’t knowingly hold on to until this moment. When his grandfather begins to wake up he points at his shoes that he was wearing then to the clock, showing him there is still time for him to make a difference. He tells him never live in fear, not to fear his death or anything else in his life. It is in that moment that a life lesson is taught; not living in fear has so many different facets that he must look at. Don’t live in the fear that he believes people have for black men, don’t fear his death, and don’t fear making a difference. He then encourages him to go out and make his voice heard. The scene ends with the beginning of the second Saturday, getting ready to go visit his Papa so he can tell him about the weeks events and so he can hear more of the stories that he now knows have changed and shaped his life.
