I still kinda like my idea of having a flashback to Ghira having the White Fang help a Faunus who lives in a town where the only pharmacist refuses to serve Faunus.

The Faunus' wife fell ill, and her health degraded very quickly. The town's pharmacist is the only one for miles, and the Faunus man doesn't know if his wife could hold out long enough for someone from a village that's over a week away to bring the medicine she needs. She's also too sick to make a journey to another village, and he doesn't want to leave her and their son alone.

Ghira hears news about this, visits the man, talks with him, and organizes something to try to get the pharmacist to change his mind.

Though, now I've thought of a way this could end. Perhaps Blake accompanies Ghira to the home visit, as she's learning about all sides of the White Fang's efforts and Ghira's responsibilities as leader. While there, the man's son suggests stealing the medicine from the pharmacist's shop, but the man tells him that's wrong. His son has an emotional outburst of "What he's doing is wrong! He deserves it!" because, really, a kid is going to be emotional and angry when his mother is dying while the only person who can provide what's needed to save her refuses to for as stupid a reason as discrimination. The kid's father insists they're not going to steal, so the kid storms off to his room and slams the door. The White Fang attempts to resolve the situation peacefully.

For one ending, they could be successful. This would show that progress can be made through peaceful means and that the White Fang should be restored to this peaceful version.

For another ending, the man's wife could die before they succeed in changing the pharmacist's mind. This would be bittersweet. From now on, the pharmacist will serve Faunus, but they failed to save the woman. Perhaps the aftermath of the woman's death was what helped them sway the pharmacist. Either way, present day Blake could look back on this event and wonder if they could have saved her if they had just followed the boy's idea of breaking in and stealing the medicine. But breaking the law is what the violent White Fang does. Doing bad things for good reasons is a slippery slope. There's also the fact that showing the White Fang's peaceful methods were not always 100% successful, or were completely unsuccessful in some cases, can help people understand why the White Fang ended up giving in to frustration and turning to violence to get results.
