Multicolored memories of a Black Southern girl
by Kitty Oliver
""Every family has its maverick - the one who runs counter to the herd - and I played that role in mine," Kitty Oliver writes. Multicolored Memories of a Black Southern Girl is the story of Oliver's coming of age in Florida and her crossing from an all-black to a predominantly white world. Born and raised in Jacksonville but a wanderer by blood, Oliver chronicles the strains and surprises of her transition from Jim Crow to desegregation."--BOOK JACKET.
