In this chapter, Michele Norris tries to track down the officers that shot and arrested her father. When she finds that none of them are still alive, she reaches out to their family members for their perspectives on "justice" in the South. She gets a slew of different reactions from them, ranging from sympathetic to apathetic. She then goes to visit Aubrey Justice, a former officer in the Birmingham Police Department. He tells Norris that not everyone that worked for Bull Connor was a bad person; they often had to follow his orders whether they liked it or not.
