Delta Rainbow

Betty Bobo Pearson (b. 1922), a seventh-generation, plantation-born Mississippian, defied her cultural heritage - and caused great personal pain for her parents and herself - when she became an activist in the civil rights movement. Never fearing to break the mold in her search for the "best," she, in her ninety-third year, remains a strong, effective leader with a fun-loving, generous spirit.
