Unflinching Frontline Account of Segregation, Rural Poverty, and Civil Rights Activism

Born to rural Mississippi sharecroppers in 1940, Anne Moody grew up in the harsh reality of Jim Crow segregation, rural poverty, and systemic racial violence. The horrific 1955 lynching of Emmett Till galvanized Moody into political activism, leading her to join the NAACP, CORE, and SNCC while attending Tougaloo College.

Moody provides a raw, firsthand account of historic Woolworth sit-ins, voter registration drives, voter intimidation, and the dangerous daily struggles of Civil Rights Movement activists in the Deep South.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Anne Moody writes with uncompromising honesty, emotional power, and vital historical perspective. A landmark autobiography for Civil Rights history readers, Black history scholars, and students of American history.
