Coming of Age in Mississippi by Anne Moody

-Anne is trying to graduate from Natchez College; she does not have enough credits, but she is happy because she gets to stay on campus and help with "the movement."
-Anne knows that some of her teachers are waiting for her to drop out of school, but the movement has helped Anne to know she has nothing she needs to prove to others.
-Anne is recruited to do a sit-in at a diner and agrees because she doesn't care if she goes to jail or not; she has nothing to lose.
-Anne, Pearlena, and Memphis sit down in the white section of the diner and refuse to move when asked.
-A white woman says that she would stay with them, but her husband is waiting for her.
-Anne and the others at the sit-in are abused terribly at the diner.
-Anne doesn't hate the whites; she believes they are merely "sick with a disease that is incurable."
-Anne wouldn't stop fighting for her cause and act like a coward; she was determined and brave.
