You Can't Stop Me: Journey From Sharecroppers' Daughter
to Chief of Police--The Vickie McNeill Story as written by
Barbara J. Garshman
Sinopsis :
Vickie M. McNeill rose from picking cotton as a young black
girl to making history in 1978 as the first female police officer in
her home town of Canton, Mississippi.No one wanted her. The
officers wouldn&#8217tpartner with her or teach her. They
sent her on &#8220mawith a gun&#8221calls without backup,
hoping she&#8217dbe killed. And that was just the first
week.Vickie was smart, talented and couldn&#8217tbe bought.
The descendants of slave-owning plantation families who
controlled the Board of Aldermen and the Canton Police
Department, wanted her stopped. They did everything in their
power to get rid of her.But she never quit. The black citizens of

her town needed her. She had become a symbol for women
and what they could accomplish. She believed she could make
a real difference.Hers is a story of triumph over adversity,
victory over despair and history making achievements. You
Can't Stop Me recalls what she did, how she did it and the
woman, mother and police officer she became along the
way.&#8220Peple ask me now, would I have done anything
differently? My answer is no. My belief is that you
don&#8217tstop, you don&#8217tgive up, and you
don&#8217tgive out.&#8221Vikie Marie McNeill, 2022
