Despite numerous hardships, she excelled academically, earning a basketball scholarship to college. As a member of the NAACP, CORE, and SNCC, Moody participated in pivotal civil rights demonstrations and sit-ins, facing violence and oppression head-on. This deeply personal narrative not only chronicles Moody’s life but offers an unflinching look at the larger fight for civil rights in America.
