Growing up in Alabama, I can remember many of the situations/conversations in the story. Things have changed a lot since then, but not enough!
Yes, I know what you mean. I grew up in Atlanta. I knew back then, even as early as first grade, that things weren't as they should be. I even had conversations with our maid about it. The book resonated, in a chilling sort of way. I also highly recommend it.
