SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from this week’s episode of All American: Homecoming. The Bringston University women’s tennis team is figuring out how to move forward in Monday’s episode of The CW series All American: Homecoming, after the young women were racially profiled during a police stop on their way to a tennis match.
In last week’s episode, the tennis team’s bus was pulled over under the pretext of an illegal lane change, only for Simone (Geffri Maya) and her teammates were harassed by the officers, who began searching their bags for drugs and weapons, despite no evidence to suggest they would be in possession of either.
The story was inspired in part by the experience of the Delaware State University women’s lacrosse team during a traffic stop in Georgia last year. “Anytime there’s a big story like this that comes out of the HBCU community, I’m always concerned about the lack of attention it gets considering what the students have been going through,” co-showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll told Deadline during a recent interview, adding that she and co-showrunner Marqui Jackson “felt like we had a unique opportunity to tell that story organically through our characters.” Not only did the police encounter leave the women traumatized, it also forced them to forfeit their season because they couldn’t make it to their match.
Determined to hold the police accountable, the team posts a video of the incident online. During Monday’s episode, Simone is organizing a rally when she learns that the team will have the opportunity to continue playing, but only if they agree to sign NDAs and stop talking about the police stop.
