ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Episode 3: Something Bigger
Booker T. Washington has found the land, but turning it into a school is another matter. The arrival of his brother John gives the struggling operation a much-needed boost, but it is Olivia Davidson who changes everything.
While Booker sees a small school, Olivia sees an institution that could transform the South. She pushes Booker to demand more from the money men, recruit more students, and dream bigger than he ever has before. Her ambition inspires John, but worries Fanny, who fears Olivia's relentless determination may lead Booker down a dangerous path.
Haunted by the violent loss of her brother and the destruction of her last school, Olivia refuses to let fear dictate her future. As opposition mounts and old wounds resurface, she rides into the countryside with a simple message: a better life is possible for those willing to reach for it.
