Eric Beckman reviewed This Little Light of Mine by Kay Mills
Review of 'This Little Light of Mine' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Fascinating subject, well-researched, average writing. As a US History teacher I appreciated adding detail and nuance to my understanding of the Civil Rights Movement and to the history of white supremacy. Fannie Lou Hamer was an amazing women. The book itself is a narrative biography that reads like journalism. Kay Mills, a veteran reporter, deploys her skills well in gathering information and anecdotes about Mrs. Hamer, but the resulting narration can be plodding at times.
