Helpful Score: 3

A thought provoking classic autobiography of growing up poor and black in the rural south during the 1940s and 50s by Anne Moody. Vividly told, this is a real page turning that shows how much things have changed in the last 50 and 60 years, and how much things (sadly) have stayed the same. I was born during the mid-60s so don't remember this era, and this book is the most thoroughly educational on the trials of civil rights movement I've read. I was truly moved.
