Katherine Maxwell: Coming Of Age In Mississippi

This autobiography is about Essie Mae a colored girl growing up in times of racial inequality. Everywhere around her she can see the white people being treated better, having better homes and nicer things. But she doesn't understand what sets her apart from them, as far as she can tell they're exactly the same as her except a couple of shades lighter. Throughout the book she realizes how much harder everything is for her and her family and then ends up joining a group fighting against inequality. This is an inspiring story of a girl wanting to change what she's been used to her entire life.

Calvin Carlson-
This sounds like a very interesting book, I like how the point of view comes from an innocent, young girl who feels the effects of segregation, yet wonders why segregation exists.
