It would be nice if there was a movie about her. I had heard her name but never knew her story. I found this trailer. Watch "This Little Light of Mine: The Legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer - Trailer" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/Wk7NcBEKA-A/w-d-xo.html
TheEmpress Dena She was too pro black. And there’s too much media that shows how much she understood that white supremacy focused primarily on blk men.
A movie, really for what? Ya'll got her live speaking out of her own mouth, we don't need an Actress to play her part. Get video from the library of Congress. Damn
Thanks Fannie Lou Hamer for speaking up so eloquently! You made a difference in this world as your voice is being heard even TODAY October 26, 2024!!! God was with YOU that day to help US this day.🙏
I'm glad this testimony was given. That is my mother Mrs. Mary Lane Bruce of Greenwood being shown when the film was on the audience. She participated first hand in the movement with King and Hamer and all the activist of her time in Mississippi.
That's amazing.... I wish we were taught this step in our history books I'm black and I had no idea this event ever took place sings our black history month is even whitewashed. All the painful and excruciating details are left out. No one was talk about how painful and hard they made it for us to get to where we are today, We're not taught about all the black people who are shot in the streets and killed dead and their children. Every time I have complained about being too tired or in Hungary or God I am so sorry These are the people who should be complaining that they're tired and hungry
It's amazing hear about your mom. She is history,my mom is history too,she lived in Alabama,she went to the church where the 4 young ladies got blown up. My mother didn't make it to church that morning but heard the explosion. It's sad to hear when my mom said they had gotten us to bombs going off. To me that living in fear everyday. Some of our parents and grandparents, etc,had to go through alot for us to have this freedom today. It's sad alot of them can care less. RIP to all of ours HEROES!
@@brandondavies9922 I said the same thing! We should have learned about Mrs. Hamer. But I am glad that I know of her now. You take care and stay safe 😷
I had never heard of this woman but then I watched All the way and just had to look her up. What happened to her wasn't in vain because 50 plus years later were still listening to her and finding out who she is. God bless her.
Steve Mecc - It's a shame that schools are not teaching black history as it relates to the civil rights movement. Fannie Lou Hamer was an integral part of the civil rights movement.
This is What the History Books in schools Don't Teach! We Need More Teaching of the Truth from a Black Perspective! It would be an entirely different Story! Trust Me!
The woman was given a "Mississippi Appendectomy" (her Uterus was removed) without her knowledge or consent!!! She had so much looked forward to a future with children, and that right was stolen from her!!! She went in for a Fibroid removal, and they TOOK her FERTILITY intentionally out of racial prejudice, & decided to prevent her from "having a litter." Out of ALL she suffered, that is the saddest of all ,I feel. :-(
I knew Mrs Hamer not well but I did know her. She indeed had her uterus removed. She was also a very devout woman I remember her quoting scripture about Malcom "For you have died and your life is hid with Christ in God" I wonder how many people would still like her if they knew how opposed to abortion she was. I cannot prove it but I think the beating she took eventually killed her
@@bobmcgahey1280 If her uterus was removed without her consent I can totally understand why she would be against abortion and would not hold it against her one bit.
I am so proud and humble that I am a descendant of people like Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer. I never knew her, but I truly love her. Her voice feeds my soul and calms me, I can feel the power of determination when she speaks. She also reminds me of my Grandmother, Mrs.Annie Lou Hawkins who was also a civil rights activist. RIP and thank you to both of these beautiful women.
Her strength and courage is awe inspiring. If it weren’t for Ms. Hamer and all of the Civil Rights Martyrs and protesters, I wouldn’t be able to live the life that I live today.....I am very grateful. 👏🏾❤️
Look at her,,,,just look at her,,,, such beauty, such class,,, fearless,,, full of wisdom and BRAVE. I love this woman. Thank you Miss Fanny for speaking truth to power. Message to THE STRONG Black woman....all across the globe...if you're reading this I LOVE YOU!
Brainwashed n they would have to get treated like fannie to become fannie they love love n hip hop too much cardi B, Nikki Minaj,Megan Thee Stallion, and a boatload of distractions
Until I saw this story, and listened to Ms. Hamer, I did not fully appreciate what 'freedom' meant to African-Americans in the 1963 March on Washington. In her unscripted testimony, Ms. Hamer taught the nation what it meant to live the life of a black person in the 1964 South. It meant terror Because a black person never knew when the night riders might pull up to your house and take a family member to lynch that night; might arrest and beat you; might kill your child for no reason at all. It's more subtle now, but Michael Brown's murder by a Ferguson, Missouri, policeman unveiled that African American mothers of male children still face terror. And new voting restrictions that have been enacted by states and even the Supreme Court show that the beating Fannie Lou Hamer endured still does not guarantee the free right to vote for all citizens.
I agree. I was born in 1966 and thought that the civil rights movement was silly because I couldn't relate to what blacks went through before the mid 1960s. It would be hard for me to have lived in that time period and encountered all that segregation. It goes against everything I believe in. Yes, we've come a long way but we still have a long way to go.
We were never set free according to the laws in the book. Abraham Lincoln was Assassinated, before these laws were placed in prospective! Slavery exist in world today! The Voter's can vote slavery back!
Not just the South. The north was just as racist but more clever. Redlining and deed riders that stated you couldn't sell your property to Blacks had a much more profound impact on our advancement than the South's in your face racism. The North was more strategic in limiting what we can buy, where we could live, and where we could work.
Like so many " delta" towns in Mississippi, "luminaries " emerged shining brightly to give hope, energy and making another trail to overcome the oppression placed upon black people. Our God is a good God. Throughout our suffering, He has always been there, every where. blessing. us with gifts as a mighty people. We "rise, let nothing turn us around" and understandably, our oppressors remain frighten with All that we Are and how Little they will always be in their wrongness.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I was not familiar with Fannie Lou Hamer until I checked out a biography intended for 5th graders. Now I'm here in tears watching youtube clips. Why is she not on money yet?
I love to hear her speak. I am also awed by her fearlessness. She was awesome. She showed what type of warrior she was when she gave her home address to let them know she was not in fear of the racist terrorists that tried to oppress us by violence and evil. She put her life on the line to fight for what she believed in.⭐
I feel so much pride when i see this woman, it brings me to tears, with the roaring of her voice, she is so prophetic in her speech, so pure and real. She is America, she is America. Thank you Mrs. Hammer, forever indebted.
At first I was astounded at how bold and fluent she was, then it occurred to me that she had probably done some speaking at church and that she actually believed the verse, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
OmGOD… I absolutely LOVE Mrs Hammer‘a speech her conviction her demeanor her passion … is “EPIC”❤ this dynamic lady is my SHERO ❤RIP MY SIS IN CHRIST🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
what a woman!! so sad that she is no longer with us, I wonder what she would make of our society today! Rest in power Fannie Lou! you kept it all the way 100
Does anybody know where full, uninterrupted speech is? I've searched across TH-cam and can't seem to find it and this video interrupts Fannie Lou as much as it did back then. Let's hear it from the woman herself!
Thank You Ms. Hamer for your courage. You turned your suffering and pain into fuel to fight for all Black people the right to vote and to be 1st class citizens.
She saw the intersection between voting rights, education, and economic opportunity. She was far ahead of her time, and was planting seeds for trees that she wouldn't live to sit under. We, the people, must continue her legacy and fight for the upward mobility and empowerment of the Black community. May her name forever be engraved in the halls of history for her outstanding work and achievements to make a better world for us all.
Praise The Lord, Amen A Great Woman of God, Going forth in The Strength and Spirit of The Lord, Paving The Way for Even for Such A Time As This "Against All ODDS "....Blessings and Peace. ❤🙏✝️🙌😇
Yes Lord this was something else,Ms.Fannie ,Tell it,like it is,them Devils didnt wanna hear her powerful words,i thank my Ancestors for everything,they had too go through.
Beautiful souls which I feel I have not followed in their correct Light...But I changed and I'm training myself teaching myself with the proper and correct Knowledge. Umoja 2 us all.
"WE SHALL OVER COME,DID WE"? How many remember the song "We Shall Over Come"?It was the song sung by MLK and those who stood with him during the civil rights movement in the 60's.This song was spiritually inspirational for those who were committed to overcome civil injustice,racial inequality,poverty,etc.This song was sung as rocks were thrown,dogs attacking,police beatings of marchers determined to overcome being treated less than human.Some marchers even lost their lives.Black folks had enough and were unconditionally committed to the movement to change their conditions & status in America.As a child I watched what was happening on TV and listened to the radio to the beginning of change for the oppressed citizens of America.The process had begun,no more sitting in the back of the bus.No more suppression of voting rights.Children of color could attend schools who's policies forbid them from attending."We Shall Over Come",yes we were hopeful ,people of color were making progress towards equality.Then came the assassinations of prominent Black leaders,MLK,Malcolm X and others.This slowed the progression of the "Peoples Movement",the singing seem to stop,the progress that was made was not being nurtured.Complacency seemed to set in by the people through the following years.Did some of us believed that we had arrived in society?Had we forgotten about what sacrifices were made for us,had we lost our way?How did we allow our self respect & pride,our love for one another slip away.What happened to us through the years,maybe it was the "Heroin & Crack epidemic.That swept through communities of color,leaving devastation & death.Has our courage been depleted through the years.It is now 2014,the era of "Sex & Violence.The biggest "Crisis" in America today is "Gun Violence".This is the scourge & plague in America's communities of color.There's a aura of hopelessness coming from people of color today.Remember those who had less than nothing that started the process of change,though today people of color have more.Reality is we still have nothing as a people.No empowerment,no Unity,no real family structure or moral fiber.Children of color killing one another.Our passion to stand for what is right has diminished.We complain on our knees,still we won't stand up for our children.Today we must "Overcome" ourselves,because we've allowed ourselves to forget.Living in denial about how we have a part in what has happened to us.In order to start the process,we have to be willing to be forthright in being diligent,accepting criticism from naysayers.Our children's lives are in peril.We can no longer afford to stand by and let them kill each other.Time for a new "Peoples Movement",still first we must "Overcome" ourselves.Then perhaps by God's will,we will begin to sing our battle cry "We Shall Over Come" in the process to save our children's lives and restore hope.......No Violence-Know Peace! Posted by **ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!**Save Our Children!**
Mrs. Fannie Lou Hammer was a giant in heart and spirit l often feel sorry because of what she endured she was a courageous woman l still think of her today and she was also intelligent and courageous.
Fannie Lou Hamer sounded the alarm which many ignored, and claimed false back then and since that time. Let us not forget that there are those who continue to carry out less physical, but far more insidious and ugly attacks upon any who dare stand up and lay claim to what are their human and civil rights. But God!!!
I thank of you often the statement you said if I’m not tree no blacks are free you are so right. I often cry when I realize you have open my mind about people of color and FREEDOM for all . Thank you 💕
And this STILL is not her testimony in FULL! Whoever put this together is STILL interrupting her voice! Where can we find her testimony in its entirety? Please tell me where?
ok so you didn't show her whole testimony from start to finish. I don't get it. You said the President convened a press conference to distract from her testimony, and your film does the same thing. It would be great if you could show it from start to finish.
This video needs to be shown to all the children in the mainstream School so that some of the children can know how privileged they are maybe they might show some respect to the less fortunate and grow up to be a better human than their parents were
“In 1961, Hamer was sterilized without her consent when she went to a Sunflower County hospital for a minor procedure to remove a tumor. She was given a hysterectomy, then called a “Mississippi appendectomy,” a cruelty inflicted often against Black women in her home state.” - Black Liberation Archives, 2021 AND: “Hamer found that 3/5 of all Black women from her community Sunflower County, Mississippi underwent unwanted sterilization.“ - Obstetrics & Gynecology, Washington University School of Medicine, 2022.

How many remember the song "We Shall Over Come"?It was the song sung by MLK and those who stood with him during the civil rights movement in the 60's.This song was spiritually inspirational for those who were committed to overcome civil injustice,racial inequality,poverty,etc.This song was sung as rocks were thrown,dogs attacking,police beatings of marchers determined to overcome being treated less than human.Some marchers even lost their lives.Black folks had enough and were unconditionally committed to the movement to change their conditions & status in America.As a child I watched what was happening on TV and listened to the radio to the beginning of change for the oppressed citizens of America.The process had begun,no more sitting in the back of the bus.No more suppression of voting rights.Children of color could attend schools who's policies forbid them from attending."We Shall Over Come",yes we were hopeful ,people of color were making progress towards equality.Then came the assassinations of prominent Black leaders,MLK,Malcolm X and others.This slowed the progression of the "Peoples Movement",the singing seem to stop,the progress that was made was not being nurtured.Complacency seemed to set in by the people through the following years.Did some of us believed that we had arrived in society?Had we forgotten about what sacrifices were made for us,had we lost our way?How did we allow our self respect & pride,our love for one another slip away.What happened to us through the years,maybe it was the "Heroin & Crack epidemic.That swept through communities of color,leaving devastation & death.Has our courage been depleted through the years.It is now 2014,the era of "Sex & Violence.The biggest "Crisis" in America today is "Gun Violence".This is the scourge & plague in America's communities of color.There's a aura of hopelessness coming from people of color today.Remember those who had less than nothing that started the process of change,though today people of color have more.Reality is we still have nothing as a people.No empowerment,no Unity,no real family structure or moral fiber.Children of color killing one another.Our passion to stand for what is right has diminished.We complain on our knees,still we won't stand up for our children.Today we must "Overcome" ourselves,because we've allowed ourselves to forget.Living in denial about how we have a part in what has happened to us.In order to start the process,we have to be willing to be forthright in being diligent,accepting criticism from naysayers.Our children's lives are in peril.We can no longer afford to stand by and let them kill each other.Time for a new "Peoples Movement",still first we must "Overcome" ourselves.Then perhaps by God's will,we will begin to sing our battle cry "We Shall Over Come" in the process to save our children's lives and restore hope.......No Violence-Know Peace!

Mrs. Fannie Lou Hammer
was a giant in heart and spirit l often feel sorry because of what she endured she was a courageous woman l still think of her today and she was also intelligent and courageous.
Fannie Lou Hamer sounded the alarm which many ignored, and claimed false back then and since that time. Let us not forget that there are those who continue to carry out less physical, but far more insidious and ugly attacks upon any who dare stand up and lay claim to what are their human and civil rights. But God!!!
I thank of you often the statement you said if I’m not tree no blacks are free you are so right. I often cry when I realize you have open my mind about people of color and FREEDOM for all . Thank you 💕
Fannie Lou Hamer was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived... Shame on the GOP for all they have done to this country.
Fannie Lou Hamer, a true freedom Fighter.
I'm upset that NONE of my public school history classes taught us about Fannie Lou Hamer. I shouldn't just now be learning about her...
My God ... What courage she had. "Always be on the offensive", she admonished us...are we there yet?
A great woman. One of the greatest to walk the planet.
I am sorry Mr. King-
I would have giving my life for yours_
A true leader_
Such a great hero! I love this woman of power!
And this STILL is not her testimony in FULL!
Whoever put this together is STILL interrupting her voice!
Where can we find her testimony in its entirety?
Please tell me where?
You can find an audio-only copy of her entire testimony here: th-cam.com/video/KpIlI09Lxe8/w-d-xo.html
Will DaThrill Thank you.
ok so you didn't show her whole testimony from start to finish. I don't get it. You said the President convened a press conference to distract from her testimony, and your film does the same thing. It would be great if you could show it from start to finish.
This video needs to be shown to all the children in the mainstream School so that some of the children can know how privileged they are maybe they might show some respect to the less fortunate and grow up to be a better human than their parents were
Strong, Resilient, Fearless BLACK woman
May Fannie Lou Hamer Rest In Peace
“In 1961, Hamer was sterilized without her consent when she went to a Sunflower County hospital for a minor procedure to remove a tumor. She was given a hysterectomy, then called a “Mississippi appendectomy,” a cruelty inflicted often against Black women in her home state.” - Black Liberation Archives, 2021
AND:
“Hamer found that 3/5 of all Black women from her community Sunflower County, Mississippi underwent unwanted sterilization.“ - Obstetrics & Gynecology, Washington University School of Medicine, 2022.
