She describes finding her own name on a Ku Klux Klan wanted list, seeing a boy beaten as FBI agents watch from across the street, and hearing of murders - Emmet Till, Medgar Evars, John F. Kennedy, as well as her own uncle. She lives her life knowing she can no longer return safely to her hometown and feels estranged from family members who do not share her passionate commitment to fight racism.

At the conclusion of the book we are left with Anne, as well as many other activists for equal rights, who have left on a bus to go to Washington D.C. to testify at the COFO hearings. Their mission was to finally gain equal rights once and for all after all of the battling they had

There are many events in Anne’s life that could lead her to wonder what will really happen as they left to testify in Washington D.C. It is possible that if some of the events in her life didn’t happen it may have altered her end conclusion. In this essay I will explore the many events in Anne Moody’s life from her childhood to her participation in the Civil Rights Movement. I will also discuss why she possibly came to the conclusion that she did and what could have changed it as well as my interpretation of the ending comment.

While she worked the many odd jobs she had observed many things about white people, but didn’t quite understand what the secret was to being white. She was always interested in what made blacks different from whites. She had noticed that whites always eat better than her family. She felt that one secret she learned was that white women were lazy which is why they have black women working for them.

I would have come to a similar outlook as Anne did. Ever since African Americans were brought over to this country they have always been treated as if they were inferior. Since blacks have been treated like this for hundreds of years what could make a person possibly believe that it would ever go away? Anne was wondering if they were actually going to get the rights they deserved considering that blacks have always been discriminated for hundreds of years.
