Mississippi Bridge

by Mildred D. Taylor


Review this book!

Ten-year-old Jeremy Simms, who also appears in "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," narrates this story of racism in pre-Civil Rights era Mississippi. On a cold wintery day, both black and white people line up to take a bus. When the bus is full, the black passengers are ordered off to make room for the whites still standing in line. As the bus travels into town a tragedy occurs--is this a punishment for racism or a simple twist of fate?
