Her story is one of hardship, courage, and determination to bring about social change, making this a compelling firsthand account of the fight for civil rights. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Anne Moody (1940-2015) was an American author and activist whose experiences growing up in the racially segregated South fueled her commitment to fighting injustice.
