Whilst the said works are taking place, no vehicle shall enter, proceed or wait along Freshwater Road from the junction with Southcroft Road to the outside number 73. There will be no waiting Monday to Sunday between 08:00-17:00. Another strength of the book is the way author Denise Nicholas makes the summer heat in Mississippi a character in the story. She won't let the reader forget that they're in Mississippi in the midst of summer, living in an old house that wasn't in good shape even when it was a new house.

One of the best novels ever about the Civil Rights Movement. Nicholas, besides being a well-known actress, screenwriter and veteran of the Civil Rights Movement herself (she was in the SNCC and one of the founders of the Free Southern Theater), is an amazing novelist. The lyricism of place, her fully formed and questioning characters, the wonderful originality of each scene, brings each part of this dramatic story vividly alive. Author, activist, and actress Denise Nicholas’s historical fiction, Freshwater Road (2005), is based on her own experiences as a Freedom Rider during the summer of 1964 when civil rights activists from around the country descended on Mississippi to protest segregation and Jim Crow laws. And the character of Celeste, principled but vulnerable, well-meaning but frequently naive, her real courage in undertaking the dangerous work registering voters in a rural community in Mississippi, her overcoming her own ingrained sense of privilege, as much as confronting the violence, is something I think of often these days.

The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland).

This is definitely a good discussion book. I really appreciated it. It was difficult in places and redeeming in others. Chadwell Heath will be undergoing a transformation in the years to come, with significant amounts of investment to bring new homes and jobs into the local area. Hollybrook Homes, is looking to work with the local community and stakeholders to develop proposals that contributes positively to the local area whilst recognising ambitions as laid out in the draft Local Plan.Our proposals will bring forward a sustainable, mixed-use proposal that will create new, mixed-unit homes, including 35% affordable homes within a high-quality public realm that will offer improved biodiversity with new amenity and play space. We will additionally provide new jobs in the form of creative workshop space, including affordable workspace to accommodate a wide range of business.

Truth be told, I’m probably not the ideal person to review this book. I could predict most events because I’ve read plenty about Freedom Summer in 1964. If you’ve read, say, In Struggle, by Claiborne Carson (and I highly recommend you do, great book) the number of surprises in Freshwater Road will drop drastically. I would guess that Denise Nicholas used Carson’s book when researching her own. The following are some excerpts from the book I found of interest. I included my own introductory comments for context. Beyond that, the story suffers from the overuse of adjectives, and I've never met a college student who could tell so much about others just from the look in their eyes.

For Scotland, 2011 data is shown (update coming soon, the Scottish census was delayed by a year unlike the rest of the UK). I attended a book signing/reading of this book after its release, at the Main Public Library in Detroit on March 15, 2007. Ms. Nichols herself was present. Here it is 2021 and I am just now reading this novel. Actually…I’m listening to the 10th Anniversary edition of the novel thru Audible. I found myself wanting to continue the story with the characters. I wanna know did she follow her heart? I want to know what happened with her tripped out mother? Ugh. And did they find out more about the “accident”????? Add to that Celeste’s isolation in Pineyville. No peers, no one to help ease the tension of fearing what could happen at any time. Her hostess, Mrs. Owens, is a steady influence and one of the heroines of the book. But it’s clear that the constant stress wears on Celeste, as it would on anyone in her shoes. Evaluation of Freshwater Road

Freshwater Road has several good points I can mention. The characters in Mississippi are varied and believable. Celeste, the main character, is a pleasantly complex young lady with both fears and courage. Reverend Singleton also stood out for me as someone to empathize with. Likewise for Sister Mobley. When the chips are down, they rise to the occasion. I will say there were a few characters in a few occurrences during the story however that really left me hanging! And I don’t know how I feel about that. There was one incident involving a child… that I just cannot understand and yet I do understand the cultural norms that made the reaction the way it was but… It still left me horrified! I think perhaps that incident alone spoke more to what the community was up against than the Ku Klux Klan honestly!!

The writing style is beautifully written in prose. Nichols weaves in euphemisms, and very descriptive words that seem to overemphasize the narrative, but in an artistic way. I enjoyed the journey with Celeste and all of its high and lows along the way from Michigan to Mississippi. I felt that listening to the story in audio was more impactful and reaching. I’m proud to possess this book, autographed by Ms. Nichols in my personal library. It’s a literary achievement! This meant the entire act of trying to register to vote became enshrouded in fear and hopelessness. People who tried to register had nothing to gain because the circumstances guaranteed failure, had but everything to lose. Celeste and the other Mississippi Freedom Summer volunteers must overcome this obstacle. Side Plots of Freshwater Road
