Hunter-Gault's extraordinary autobiography is at once an account of her role in the Civil Rights movement--at
19 she became the first black woman to desegregate the University of Georgia--and the story of the childhood in
the American South of the 1940s and '50s that prepared her for it. In My Place is a powerful act of witness to
the brutal realities of segregation an a homage to the black culture that prepared Hunter-Gault to challenge hatred
and transcend it.
