Joe Moore author of Stories From the Back of the Bus ($19.95)

My book tells the story of what it was like living in the segregated south; New Orleans in particular. It relates how I and a few friends suffered under the yoke of segregation, Jim Crow laws and what we accomplished to secure change in our neighborhood, the church and city. As difficult as it was living under those bigoted, racist laws, I also relate how much fun we had securing those changes.
