Commissioner William H. Booth of the New York City Commission on Human Rights interviews Anne Moody, author of Coming of Age in Mississippi. The book chronicles Ms. Moody's life from her childhood in rural Mississippi to her involvement in the Civil Rights movement.

Ms. Moody, the daughter of two sharecroppers, shares her views on prejudice, and her eventual realization that the issues she has confronted are in fact prevalent in many other parts of America and the world.
