The boom boom bam of a big bass drum is what the end of summer sounds like in Bronzeville. Today is the Bud Billiken Parade on Chicago’s South Side, and Dru and Daddy have been customizing their classic Cadillac named Sunshine since the first day of summer.

But Sunshine’s saying she’s not going to start. Dru and Daddy race to get Sunshine rolling while cymbals crash, tumblers pounce, and dancers strut their stuff. Dru wishes that summer would never end so he could work with Daddy forever, but the energy of the parade gets him revved up for the school year.
