Meet Loretta, Roly, and Aggie B –who share their long family history. It begins with Loretta’s “truth-talking” in the 1920s, continues with Roly in the 1940s, and concludes with Aggie B. coming of age as a committed voting rights activist. Drawing on oral histories and interviews, this beautifully illustrated novel blends fictional first-person narratives, spoken-word poems, folk myths, gospel rhythms, and blues influences. It is a stirring exploration of the violence of the Jim Crow South, the sharecropping system, the long struggle for African American voting rights, and the different forms bravery and love can take.
