My Walk with God

<p>In her autobiography My Walk With God the author D. M. Scales talks about many things. Foremost she talks about her life and growing up in the South during the oppressive “sixties era.”Basically this was during the civil rights movement which was a product of inequality along with Jim Crow and “Brown v. Board of Education.” Importantly this was when many blacks wanted to obtain equality. Here this writer talks about how being black and poverty stricken during the “dark sixties” posed serious problems for her as a youngster. Typically educated as well as uneducated black Americans were subservient to Jim Crow laws. In contrast in our society today blacks have now become better educated but this writer alludes “not much has changed.” The expression “not much has changed” is further exemplified for the reader throughout this autobiography. Drew exemplifies this when she says oppression and discrimination both existed during the sixties and in the Jim Crow era and yet cohabitates in our society today.</p>
