Coming of Age in Mississippi: The Classic Autobiography of a Young Black Girl in the Rural South by Anne Moody

5.0

Coming of Age in Mississippi is Anne Moody’s personal confession to what it was like to grow up in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement in the South. From her earliest memories to her last involvements with the Movement, Moody provides her audience with a very detailed, uncensored, diary of her experiences with racism and segregation. She, in grave detail, describes learning about segregation, feeling suffocated by segregation, and then finally finding the courage to take a stand against segregation.
