Coming of Age in Mississippi - by Anne Moody (Paperback)

This is a powerful and moving autobiography of Anne Moody, a black woman who lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in Mississippi.

Born to poor tenant farmers, Moody experienced firsthand the fear and violence of racism, but she also discovered her passion for freedom and justice.

Through her NAACP membership and participation in demonstrations and sit-ins, she became a foot soldier in the civil rights movement.

Her story is an eloquent testament to the power of one person's courage and determination to change history.

With its vivid portrayal of rural southern black life and its timely reminder that we cannot now relax, this autobiography is a must-read for anyone interested in American history and social justice.
