Full summary:
June, 1986: Nubia (Wonder Woman II) shares her concern with her lover J'onn J'onzz (the Martian Manhunter) about speaking at the commencement ceremony at Wesleyan School for Women in the South. Arriving at the college, Wonder Woman II is met by Carolyn Honeycut (the Dean of Women) and a group of reporters. Nubia notes that almost all of the students are white, and she also notes how she is regarded because of her own skin color. That evening, as Nubia eats dinner at Carolyn's house, she is concerned about how much weight is put upon her race on a news report about her visit to the college. That night, Nubia is alarmed to notice a fire near the house and moves to act. [“Wonder Woman: Black and White, Chapter 1: Comparison”]

Later, Carolyn tries to explain American racism to Nubia, who ends up pointing out Carolyn's own form of racism. The next morning, Wonder Woman II gives her speech at the commencement ceremony at Wesleyan School for Women.
