"comming of age in mississippi" by anne moody and "black boy" by richard wright <Tab/>The books "Coming of Age in Mississippi" by Anne Moody and "Black Boy" by Richard Wright are both very well written, interesting books. Although the two books are not completely identical, they are very similar. They are both stories about individuals standing up for what they believe in. The main characters in each book, Essie Mae …showed first 75 words of 2386 total…

…showed last 75 words of 2386 total…succeeded. Also, interestingly enough, both of the main characters in both books went on to become famous professional writers. Richards' novels are still read and worshiped to this day. Anne went on to work with black empowerment leaders such as Jackie Robinson and Dr. Martin Luther King; and her literature is still loved to this day. I would recommend both of these books to read to anyone, especially those interested in the civil rights movement.
