Joan, a white girl from Virginia, became curious about social stratifications in her grandmother's Georgia town; she grew into an adult committed to ending discrimination against black people in the South. Each spread of the informative book, coauthored by Mulholland's son, focuses on a different event or anecdote of her civil rights activism. The blend of photographs and collaged art creates a scrapbook feel. Timeline.
