Description
Born in 1954 in Concord, North Carolina, Wilma King Means details her experiences growing up in a segregated school system in Cabarrus County as well as going through the process of integration. She also shares the school experiences of her mother, her children, and her own as an educator. Means discusses discrimination and ways that her family learned to safeguard themselves, such as using the Green Book when traveling in the south, traveling in groups, and not stopping where a Confederate flag was displayed.
