Born to a 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 Emmet 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 the arrests and jailings, the shotguns, fire hoses, police dogs, billy clubs and deadly force that were used 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.

excellent narration

This book was one of the best that I’ve listened to in a long time. The fact that someone had to endure all that Ann Moody did and still be able to get a college degree while helping others is phenomenal.

Riveting until the very end!

I loved this book so much. It told a great story of courage, strength, and resilience. It was especially special to me because I’ve actually had the opportunity to spend time in Woodville Mississippi in Wilkerson County.. It’s a great little town with great people.

Amazing story telling

Where does Coming of Age in Mississippi rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I've only listened to a handful of audio books and usually tend to the narrators' voices. But in Coming of Age in Mississippi, Lisa Renee Pitts gives a terrific performance that emanates depth through her the softness of her voice. I particularly liked her incorporation of using different dialects to distinguish individual characters as well as her ability to change her tone when conveying different moods. Pitts did an excellent job at conveying the emotions that Anne Moody describes in her riveting story and I give her performance five stars!

While the reader did very well, there were times in the story where I wondered if the title shouldn't be changed to "The making of a Bigot"

Pitt's performance was one of the best
