Books

I just finished reading an amazing book for one of my classes. The title is " Coming of Age in Mississippi." It is and autobiography of a black girl who talks of what her childhood was like in the south. It is really sad to think that the blacks still didn't have the right to vote in the beginning of the 1960's and really still didn't have much for freedom. It's sad to think of all the violence that some of the whites did unto the blacks. I had a really hard time putting this book done, I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in seeing history from a person who encountered so many obstacles in their lifetime. The only thing that I didn't like about the book was how it ended, I would like to know if there is another part to this book.
