In My Place by Charlayne Hunter-Gault
The award-winning correspondent for the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour gives a moment-by-moment account of her walk into history when, as a 19-year-old, she challenged Southern law--and Southern violence--to become the first black woman to attend the University of Georgia. A powerful act of witness to the brutal realities of segregation.To the Mountaintop is written by Charlayne Hunter-Gault, a writer and international correspondent for NPR. She was one of two black students at the University of Georgia when it was desegregated in 1961. For her work with PBS's The NewsHour, she went on to earn two Emmys and a Peabody Award. She currently splits her time between South Africa and the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard.
