A nonfiction genre publication written in a storytelling format, Hortense Kilpatrick's powerful and riveting memoir An African American Woman's Childhood in Segregated Southeast Texas is a uniquely important book about a segregated community's response to the era known as Jim Crow of the South. Born during the height of racial segregation, Kilpatrick's early childhood story serves to provide context and lends her voice to the important role played by the academic institution known as Prairie View A&M College of Texas during her formative years. Her book is a compelling story about opportunities, empowerment, values transmission, determination, perseverance, and triumph.
