The climax of Miss Jane Pittman is the moment just before she leans over and drinks from the "White Only" drinking fountain. The moment she tastes the water, the climax is over; the ancient taboo has been destroyed, and the way has been paved for change.

Throughout the work, Jane Pittman asks if various characters are "the one," meaning the prophesied agent of change. In the end she turns out to be "the one."
