"In 1964 (and still true today), the color of your skin played a major role in the kind of “justice” you received. In Anywhere You Run, Wanda M. Morris drops readers into the racial turmoil of early 1960s Mississippi to follow the story of two sisters forced to run away from everything they know. One runs because of an unwanted pregnancy and the stigma associated with it; the other because she knows she’ll be blamed for a crime and understands that not being guilty of anything matters less than being Black and having others think you are guilty of something."
