One Night in Georgia by Celeste O. Norfleet
4.0
Three Black women took a road trip to Georgia to return to college in 1968. The girls enjoyed a nice stopover in Cape May, New Jersey, where those around them stood up for them when men said racist things. As the women get closer to the mason-Dixon line, they know they won't receive the same treatment. When one night goes horribly wrong, the women learn how very different their lines are compared to the white people around them.
This was a heartbreaking look into the lives of Black people and how they were perceived and treated in the 1960s in Southern states. This novel painted a vivid picture of the injustices and how they affected the women involved. The language was hard to listen to, but I know it was nothing compared to having to hear it used against you on a regular basis. This is a book that will stick with me for a long time.
