Freshwater Road

Product Information

I will say there were a few characters in a few occurrences during the story however that really left me hanging! And I don’t know how I feel about that. There was one incident involving a child… that I just cannot understand and yet I do understand the cultural norms that made the reaction the way it was but… It still left me horrified! I think perhaps that incident alone spoke more to what the community was up against than the Ku Klux Klan honestly!! Freshwater Road has several good points I can mention. The characters in Mississippi are varied and believable. Celeste, the main character, is a pleasantly complex young lady with both fears and courage. Reverend Singleton also stood out for me as someone to empathize with. Likewise for Sister Mobley. When the chips are down, they rise to the occasion. The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Freshwater Road, Dagenham, RM8 1EH is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. Now, if you aren't someone who teaches about the Civil Rights Movement, and you've never read In Struggle, by Clayborne Carson, or any of the other books about SNCC, you'll probably feel differently about the plot, and enjoy some quality reading.

One of the best novels ever about the Civil Rights Movement. 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. The lyricism of place, her fully formed and questioning characters, the wonderful originality of each scene, brings each part of this dramatic story vividly alive.

Opening Times

Truth be told, I’m probably not the ideal person to review this book. I could predict most events because I’ve read plenty about Freedom Summer in 1964. If you’ve read, say, In Struggle, by Claiborne Carson (and I highly recommend you do, great book) the number of surprises in Freshwater Road will drop drastically. I would guess that Denise Nicholas used Carson’s book when researching her own. Iris, her little curls and scalp parts looking like a road map to nowhere, glanced at the lush Negro images on the walls. "Well, baby, you got a problem now." She finished her drink and lit a cigarette, holding it like one of the elegant New York-looking women in the wallpaper.

Author, activist, and actress Denise Nicholas’s historical fiction, Freshwater Road (2005), is based on her own experiences as a Freedom Rider during the summer of 1964 when civil rights activists from around the country descended on Mississippi to protest segregation and Jim Crow laws. Vehicles will be diverted from Colwell Road – Totland Road – Gurnard Road – Freshwater Road and vice versa. This is definitely a good discussion book. I really appreciated it. It was difficult in places and redeeming in others. Another strength of the book is the way author Denise Nicholas makes the summer heat in Mississippi a character in the story. She won't let the reader forget that they're in Mississippi in the midst of summer, living in an old house that wasn't in good shape even when it was a new house. It was tough for me to rate this book. It's about the Civil Rights Movement, specifically, the Mississippi Freedom Summer campaign orchestrated by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Because I've studied both SNCC and Freedom Summer, the biggest problem I had with the book was that the plot twists just weren't very surprising for me.Add to that Celeste’s isolation in Pineyville. No peers, no one to help ease the tension of fearing what could happen at any time. Her hostess, Mrs. Owens, is a steady influence and one of the heroines of the book. But it’s clear that the constant stress wears on Celeste, as it would on anyone in her shoes. Evaluation of Freshwater Road

This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. The following are some excerpts from the book I found of interest. I included my own introductory comments for context. I found myself wanting to continue the story with the characters. I wanna know did she follow her heart? I want to know what happened with her tripped out mother? Ugh. And did they find out more about the “accident”?????The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Freshwater Road, Portsmouth, PO6 3HT is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021.
