Coming Of Age In Mississippi Life in the 1950’s and 60’s Coming of Age in Mississippi, is basically Anne Moody's autobiography from the beginning of her life, into a family of poor black share-croppers through High School, College, and finally her very active involvement in the Civil Rights movement in the 50's and 60's.This powerful and very informative autobiography from Anne Moody vividly documents the discrimination many African Americans had to face in the South in the 1950s. Anne Moody, being a very independent person, always stood for what was right, rather it was standing by herself or standing with a group of people, she was always fighting for her rights. Having a very supportive and involved family also made protest more encouraging. Her passionate fight against racism encounters many obstacles, such as finding her name on a KKK "wanted" list, being an activist in the civil rights movement in Mississippi and being beaten by the local police. Her stories are intense but full of courage and the truest convictions. In the mid 1900’s the Klu Klux Klan was revived by an Atlanta physician, Samuel Green.
