Can't get much better |
| I read this book in my African American Studies class, and I loved it. Moody has a real good way of describing and telling her story. The hardships and struggles to get rid of the oppression placed on the blacks during this time is captured wonderfully, you feel like you're right there marching and fighting with them. A must read for everyone, every color! |

Compelling Account of Growing Up in the South |
| Anne Moody's account of her childhood and the enormous amount of racial hatred she encountered in the early part of her life is absolutely heart rending. Moody was one of the participants in the famous lunch counter sit-ins at Woolworth lunch counters in Mississippi. Moody's account of that day, as well as many others, sent a chill down my spine. This is truly an amazing account of racism and the struggle toward freedom. |

It feels like your living in the 50's when you read this |
| This book was ok. sort of classical. You get to see what it is like to live in the old days and that was pretty cool. I read this as part of writing assignment for my school. It is so, but you learn what it was like back then. Moody had a ruff when her parents separated and her mother gets another man and has more kids by him and she had to work like an adult to help feed the family. It was an interesting story |
