Color Me Dark: The Diary of Nellie Lee Love, the Great Migration North, Chicago, Illinois, 1919 by Patricia C. McKissack

4.0

I have loved this series since I was a little girl. Just like then I was hooked to the story from the very first page. The only reason I’m not giving full stars is because of a contradiction. Nellie Lee stated her mother would never let her sister and her shorten their sentences with like y’all. She increased this list in her entry. However, her brother stated when he came to the city these things he was looked down on for. Not sure why their mother would contradict her teaching in her children’s upbringing.
