Charlayne's father, an army chaplain from a family of preachers, was away more than he was home, so she was raised by her mother as part of a lively, affectionate extended family. From Due West they moved to. Covington, Georgia, and eventually to "L. A."--Lovely Atlanta, as it was known in the Black community - where Charlayne began to show signs of the leadership that would characterize her later career. A year on an army base in Alaska provided her first full exposure to the white world. But it was in 1961, when she was one of two students to desegregate the University of Georgia and make that place hers, too, that she found herself calling fully on the reserves of. Courage, fortitude, and conviction instilled in her by her parents. In My Place is a resonant success story a story of triumph over obstacles, of recognition and empowerment - but even more it is a testament to the strength of family love, self-reliance, and self-esteem.
