Nicholas, besides being a well-known actress, screenwriter and veteran of the Civil Rights Movement herself (she was in the SNCC and one of the founders of the Free Southern Theater), is an amazing novelist. One of the best novels ever about the Civil Rights Movement. The urge to protect his daughter clashes head-on with his belief in advancing the rights of black Americans. It also follows her father, Shuck, a bar owner in Detroit, a numbers man and self-professed 'race man' who believes in progress and the future of black people-who is both furious and terrified when he learns that his precious daughter has already gone down to Mississippi. It follows Celeste Tyree, an idealistic, carefully raised black University of Michigan sophomore who is swept up in civil rights issues on her campus, and decides to join the movement and go to Mississippi, to put her beliefs into action. Freshwater Road by Denise Nicholas is a mesmerizing novel set during Freedom Summer in 1964, when young people from all over America were converging on Mississippi to register black people for the vote.
