        <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[Anne Moody believed that many of the civil rights leaders of her time, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., relied on rallies and demonstrations, or nonviolent means as their only tool to fight racial inequality.  She felt that these methods were ineffective.&quot;Anne travels with Reverend King and his wife to the March on Washington in August 1963, the summer when Martin Luther King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.&quot;...]]></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>

        <description><![CDATA[Anne Moody was very active in the civil rights movement of the 1960s. She worked not only with the NAACP but also with CORE, the Congress of Racial Equity. In 1964, she became the civil rights project coordinator for Cornell University.When she began writing her memoirs, rather than focus on her efforts to gain equality for African Americans, she chose to show what life was like for a poor black child. Moody's parents were sharecroppers in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Anne receives a letter from her mother telling her that she needs to stop the activism.  Mama tells her how the police have been asking questions about her, and insists that if Anne continues, she'll never be able to come back to Centreville.Anne responds with anger and determination, and her resolve to continue on her path is strengthened.  Anne has always been angry that her family would accept and give in to the injustice, rather than...]]></description>
