Abstract
“The Life and Times of Anita Mattie Cummings Young” is a memoir about my mother’s life growing up in Los Angeles, California, during a tumultuous time for African Americans in the country. During my research I discovered additional information about her grandmother that showed me who inspired her to become the woman she was.
