Coming of Age in Mississippi
''Coming of Age in Mississippi'' is a 1968 memoir by Anne Moody about growing up in rural Mississippi in the mid-20th century as an African-American woman. The book covers Moody's life from childhood, through her mid twenties, including her involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, which began when she was a student at the historically black Tougaloo College. Anne's autobiography details her struggles both against racism among white people and sexism among her fellow civil rights activists. ''Coming of Age in Mississippi,'' along with many positive reviews from The Chicago Tribune and others, won awards from the National Library Association and the National Council of Christians and Jews ().
“Supremely involving… written with stripped simplicity… not a single false high note.” Kirkus Reviews
