        <description><![CDATA[Moody has seemed to embrace a life away from the prying eyes of others as a result of her activism and her experiences in the Civil Rights Era.  Certainly, one can sense the level of raw emotion and passion in her writings, and perhaps this is a reason why she has embraced a level of distance from the public.  This is not to dissuade you from tyring to initiate contact, as it is quite worthy.  From my queries on the internet, the road of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There seems to be two primary divergences between Dr. King and Anne Moody.  The first is the method of change both embraced.  I think you can see much in her book, "Coming of Age in Mississippi," where she advocates more of a confrontational and direct approach to social change.  She expresses dissatisfaction with the nonviolent approach advocated through the teachings of Dr. King and others in his camp.  Moody was not advocating violence...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[    Moody fought for the freedom of her race and demonstrated that liberation was as important to black women as it was to black men. Moody wanted to take power from the whites. Annie did not agree with the passivity of the non-violent movement and wanted to couple the rights women had in the non-violent Civil Rights Movement with the strength of the Black Power movement.  Hope this helps!&#160;]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In her early life, Essie Mae - to become known as Anne - Moody certainly encountered enough discrimination to be outraged by it.  However, we see so many of her family members and peers accepting the situation.  The behavior of Miss Pearl towards her mother, for example, shows Essie Mae that there are plenty of blacks guilty of the same type of prejudice that the whites show.  However, Essie Mae - with the help of her mother - learns early...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As an adolescent, Anne becomes deeply aware of the hypocrisies and racism in which she has been living and awakens with horror to discover the ways in which these phenomena have been disguised or hidden from her by both whites and blacks. She not only becomes aware, but she begins to form her own angry opinions about the situation, concluding that she must leave Centreville and take action to make changes. Centreville’s black residents, she...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Anne (Essie Mae) works for Mrs. Burke who is a well-known racist. Mrs. Burke tries to teach Anne  to “know her place” in both subtle and deliberate ways. Rather than fully submit to the rude treatment by Mrs. Burke, Anne chooses to be detached and observant of her employer’s behavior—a foreshadowing of how she will react to racism as she grows increasingly aware of its manifestations around her. Anne begins to tests the limits of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In part one of Coming of Age in Mississippi, Essie Mae has a vivid nightmare about dying of heatstroke under the summer sun while out picking cotton. Her dream comes to fruition when she ends up fainting on the first day she’s in the fields with her family. She briefly enjoys the work—observing that some of her family members are tied to the land. Eventually, however, the crops fail and the family returns to poverty.While Moody...]]></description>
