From the time I found out about this book, I have been trying to get it; When I finally was able to buy the book and before it was delivered to me, I ended up getting a copy of the same book from the library; very interesting autobiography of a black woman who was born in Mississippi, and got into the civil rights movement in order to have a better life and in turn, she did get one; She was able to vote in a state that didn't allow blacks to vote; she became the mayor of a small town there, Mayersville, Miss; which is close to Rolling Fork; she ended up becoming friends with Presidents, movie stars such as Shirley Mclaine, who took her on her first trip to China; she has since been back more than 30 times. She has been on various committees with Presidents and other influential people, so it was a good thing that she took the road she did; Of course, she had some setbacks as well, but she takes it with a grain of salt and keeps on moving.
