I know what you mean, Michelle. The story was written in a very special way.

Mary Jo, how marvelous you remember this time. I’m a fossil too, but didn’t get to experience the amazing things you did. I love that you marched with your friend in peaceful marches, something to be proud of. Let me know what you think of the book. I’m sure you’ll love it too!

LaDonna,

Great review and a book I’ll have to look for.

I do remember those times, being an old fossil. I remember being awestruck at the stories a black woman I met in night class was telling me about the things she experienced. She had grown up in the south and was now living in WI.

I remember my father being furious that I’d consider her a friend and agnrier that I walked with her in peaceful marches and went to see Martin Luther King Jr speak.

Yes, I’ll definitely have to get this book.
