Coming of Age in Mississippi

Coming of Age in Mississippi Hardcover - 1968

by Anne Moody


From the publisher

Born to poor couple who were tenant farmers on a plantation in Mississippi, Anne Moody lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in the South. The week before she began high school came the news of Emmett Till's lynching. Before then she had known the fear of hunger, hell, and the Devil. But now there was the fear of being killed just because I was black. In that moment was born the passion for freedom and justice that would change her life. An all-A student whose dream of going to college is realized when she wins a basketball scholarship, she finally dares to join the NAACP in her junior year. Through the NAACP and later through CORE and SNCC she has first-hand experience of the demonstrations and sit-ins that were the mainstay of the civil rights movement, and of the arrests and jailings, the shotguns, fire hoses, police dogs, billy clubs, and deadly force that were used to try to destroy it. A deeply personal story but also a portrait of a turning point in our nation's destiny, this autobiography lets us see history in the making, through the eyes of one of the footsoldiers in the civil rights movement.

Kirkus Review: Ann Moody was born and grew up black in a small town in Mississippi where her Mama and Daddy sharecropped cotton before he left and Mama moved into town.

Ann learned in the balcony of the movie theatre that "whiteness" made everything better; at home she listened to "a nigger can't make it no way"; at ten she was working in a household and later, in high school, for the meanest woman in town when Emmet Till was killed. At 15, she came of age and began to hate people, particularly her own who didn't stand up--or talk back.
