Extract

The book that I chose to read for this assignment was In My Place, by Charlayne Hunter-Gault. This book was written by Charlayne herself and recounts her life year by year until the day she decided to change history. Charlayne went against the law and overcame violence from white supremacists to become the first black woman to attend the University of Georgia. Because of Charlayne the University of Georgia was desegregated and she paved the way for the civil rights movement in the world of education. Her act will always be remembered in history as a great act of courage and selflessness.
