Taylor, Mildred D

From the 1940s to the 1960s, Cassie Logan journeys around the country, ultimately returning home to Mississippi where she witnesses the Great Migration north and the rise of the Civil Rights Movement.

Cassie Logan, now a young woman, has gone from the Logan family home in Toledo, then to California and Colorado, to law school in Boston, and finally in the 1960s back to Mississippi where it all started. There she joins the voter registration drive and is witness to the historic events of her era--the Great Migration to the north, postwar America's racism, the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, and the violent confrontations that it sometimes takes to bring about real change.
