I particularly liked her portrayals of the persistence and courage of the men and women who registered and all the hoops and obstacles that prevented them from exercising their rights.

It's rather sad to realize how much courage it took to stand up against this and how much was risked to gain such basic human rights. Celeste and a local minister attempt to breach the resistance of the white Registrar and register at least a few black voters before Celeste heads back North. The story in the book is about a northern black college student who goes to a small town in Mississippi for the summer in 1964 to help register blacks to vote. Great multi character dialogue scenes are the toughest thing to do in fiction writing, but Nicholas is able to do it brilliantly, plumbing the differences of opinion, bringing us up to date on the history, both in the South and in Detroit, the range of opinions, while showing us the personal relationships between characters and Shuck's dreams and fears.A wide range of housing typologies were introduced responding to both the north/ south routes and the east west green spine. prior to arrival for any park closures, fire prohibitions, warnings, tide times and beach and track conditions. this book has opened my eyes to the depth and widespread racism that lay inherent in the South during the 60's - far more intense than history books ever painted it in my mind. For Scotland, 2011 data is shown (update coming soon, the Scottish census was delayed by a year unlike the rest of the UK).

This 2 bedroom VIctorian terraced home is located in the popular New Town area of Reading and provides easy access to the town centre, Palmer Park and the A329(M).

Page after page I felt tired, sore, rundown, hot and sticky along with Celeste, and the author did a very good job describing the events that took place in two summer months. Drawing on Nicholas’ own involvement in the civil rights movement, gives the author the credibility to pen this novel into a work of storytelling fit for the era. She holds a childrens education class in the mornings and an adult voter preparation class in the evening.
