Loretta Little Looks Back

 Pinkney, Andrea.  Loretta Little Looks Back: Three Voices Go Tell It.  2020.  Little, Brown a

nd Company. New York, NY.

The story of the Little Family during the Jim Crow Era in Mississippi.  The Littles struggled from Sharecropping to home ownership and registering people to vote with the SNCC. Loretta begins the story, telling how her family grew to be and about the night they found her younger brother abandoned in a cotton field one night.  

As the story grows, the family grows with it, and the story is passed from Loretta to her brother, and eventually to his daughter.  While it seems like they are living an ordinary life, the events that they become involved in will change the history of the United States.
