Helpful Score: 2

This is a fascinating autobiography. Anne Moody is a very strong woman and stood up against Mr. Charlie-- often when no other Negro would. I think this is a must have for anyone interested in studying the Civil Rights movement. It's a unique ground-based view of the movement that really ties events together and shows how the movement was in areas besides Birmingham.

The prose isn't that hard to read, and while it is an extremely interesting book, it isn't exactly a page turner. That being said, it's an excellent book.
