What evidence do we see that Hiram’s view of life in Greenwood is changing.

Hiram questions whether people should just leave things alone. Hiram's nonchalant attitude towards this angers Mr. Paul and he talks about how he had to fix an African American school once and that he saw how badly those schools are. Mr. Paul also states that maybe God intended different races to be together to learn from them. Before Mr. Paul can go any further Grampa comes out of one of the offices and he and Hiram head home to dinner. As soon as dinner is finished, Grampa goes to bed, as being so busy during the day with Hiram has worn him out. As Hiram lays in bed that evening, he thinks of everything that has been said to him as well as his meeting with Emmett before switching his thoughts to seeing Naomi again.
