1 agos 1970 anni - Ida Mae was there at Martin Luther King peaceful protest.

Descrizione:

Ida misses her family from Mississippi, she keeps their Funeral books. Her life in the North isn't exactly what she expected. But she has hope because she was there When Martin Luther king did his peaceful protest and she felt hope because she had never seen a peaceful protest. "Chickasaw County had not been in the middle of it, had not been a focus of Martin Luther King or the free-dom riders. It was too sparsely populated and too out of the way. But it was no less resistant to change, especially when it came to black people voting (where "intemperate individuals of both races created incidents best forgotten," the Chickasaw County Historical and Genealogical So-ciety wrote dismissively of the era), and when it came to the integration of the schools, which had been segregated for longer than most anyone had been alive"(Wilkerson 436).
