(3) 4-6 In 1963 Kuckachoo, Mississippi, Old Man Adams bequeaths land for a garden that everyone in the community can enjoy. It's clear, though, that the white folks don't intend to follow his wishes. After a violent incident forces African American Addie's brother into hiding, tensions run high. Imagery fills Addie's poignant first-person narration of one town's civil rights battle. Timeline.
