Book Talk: Mississippi Bridge

You ever set and just looked out over the horizon and just imagined a world of no hatred toward one another. Places where everyone was able to get along. Let me take you back to a time where people were afraid to step out of there house or to get on a bus, because they were afraid of what might happen to them. During the times of the great depression money was not just an issue; race was an issue as well. There was a young white boy named Jeremy Simms that witnessed the unfair treatment of African Americans. One day setting around a bus stop he saw the worse of people. When the bus finally arrives, Jeremy watches as the African Americans are forced to take seats at the back of the bus. When a white family arrives, the African Americans are told to get off the bus to make room for the new arrivals in the pouring rain. Find out how this fateful trip turns out in the book Mississippi Bridge which is set in our country when the economy was at its worst, almost a hundred years ago during the Great Depression.
