      It was a service for All of us! That’s the whole point; we are all humans, and should all be treated equally. When we don’t, which is made abundantly clear during the COVID supported, Civil Rights Movement, we all suffer! We all watch religious leaders, White religious leaders be gassed and shoved in front of the white house. We’ve been watching young people of all ethnicities have their civil right to protest be challenged, reporters hit with rubber bullets.
      When white wake up to the social construct of race that in the end, only harms them, then we can wake up to what it must be like to be separated at borders from your babies. As long as the puppets fall for the Us vs Them game, the plutocracy will continue their march towards fascism and we will all suffer more...those that live through it that is.

      @@Crezelltree4261- I understand your point fully and you're exactly right; God will judge us all. But please think about this; a lot of the violence and looting that's been going on in recent years, would probably not exist if the people of this country had fully dealt with the racism that permeates the criminal justice system and other areas of society. It's wrong to kill, steal or enact any form of violence or mayhem. But when people think there is little to no hope left, they let out their frustrations by doing what often causes more pain.
      With everything that is going on in this country right now, praying is what every Christian should be doing, not just to make THINGS better but to make US better. Be blessed!

      I agree! And to be back in those times in the south when improverished blacks weren't fortunate enough or were prevented from being able to get an real education, she was able to articulate well enough to be in the forefront teaching others what needed to be done and passionate enough to see it through until she got weary and "sick and tired of being sick and tired!"😢 God bless your soul Ms. Fannie.🙏🏽😢👑 #RIP

      Tasha N James , Miss Fannie Lou as I so fondly called her when I was child does have a book titled “This Little Light of Mine” written by Kay Mills. The first publishing date was 1993 by Dutton. It shares the history of her life and the history of the Civil Rights Movement in and around Sunflower County. Miss Fannie Lou was one of my grandparents neighbors.

      Tasha, here I am one year later and probably old enough to be your mother; and I do have an English/Journalism degree, but never has anyone expressed such sincere and honest sentiments as you've expressed in your comments. Mrs. Hamer does make you feel her passion which allows you to connect with her and instills an urgency within you to move; do something; anything to help our people. We are facing a great urgency now in 2020, with the killing of our people, and once again, as in my and Ms. Hamer's day, Voter Suppression. I was a very young girl in the 60s, but I remember her well and the work she did to get us where we are now. The future is in your, and other strong black women and men's hands. From what I've witnessed over the past two weeks, I believe Mrs. Hamer would be proud, I know I am.

To day October 27 2016 is the first time I have ever heard one of Her own speeches. Shame on me. All I ever heard was Fannie Lou Hamer was the lady who said "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired". Now that I have heard some of her speeches I do understand being sick and tired. I was born and raised in Leland Mississippi.

So many magnificent, inspirational leaders we have had! Let not their work and words be in vain! We are reverting...imagine what she, Malcolm, Martin and so many others would say to us today. Be prepared...this is what "Let's Make America Great" looks like to the one who said it! Anyone notice how prevalent police brutality/racism is in comparison and Trump is already threatening Chicago with the FED's (Martial Law)! Who do you think he is going to target?

      They take things for granted because they don’t know their history. Information like this isn’t in history books and they’re not being educated at home. A lot of children today are being raised by the media. Sadly many children today are raising themselves. The education systems would need to be more extensive and cover more than they are. And the family structure including mother and father should be top priority as well so that their is support at home for their children to attend HBCU’s and have other opportunities to know and appreciate who they are and where they came from. So really it’s out of their ignorance, not entirely their fault.

She is also an undeniable example of courage & what it really means to stand up & speak out against injustice. They can't afford to have her story inspire a multitude of others to find that same kind of courage in themselves.And there is no questioning the fact that one cannot help but be inspired as well as in awe of such a stellar human being. She truly is a hero of this country.

    😔😭😢😭To this very day I am terrified to even set foot in the state of Mississippi because of the horrible stories. A few years ago I got the courage to visit the State of Alabama on a business trip because I felt protected but the thought of Mississippi still terrifies me. 😔😭😢😭

    I will start by saying I love you Mrs. Fanny Lou Hamer. You were clearly beautiful inside and out. What you endured on our behalf is beyond comprehension. It should be that your story is told in every history lesson around the whole world. It is beyond my comprehension how any one black person could forget what you had to endure for our vote. I prayer to meet you in the free world to come. May your soul continue to sleep easy until. I will never forget.

    Malcolm & Martin are taught in school.But Fannie and many many others are the silent difference makers that are deeply in our community changing minds! I thank my teacher Mr. Richardson who taught me in 1992-95 in Oakland CA many of these truths and changed my life! Education is one of the most important aspects for black liberation to elevate there minds bodys and souls!

    When you fail to vote, you are spitting in the face of this woman and every person that was beaten, tortured and killed in the past 400 years to give you that right. Please don't let their sacrifices be in vain.

      I used to say this as well; I feel differently now. The elders thought that voting would make a positive difference. Maybe give them a voice and start fair treatment. As we can clearly see all these years later, that's not how it is. I doubt if the elders would still be saying "Go vote". They were more intelligent as well, they didn't go through this public school system. How long should you do something that doesn't work, somehow believing the ancestors would be in agreement? This country already has the next couple of presidents picked out

    I have so much reverence for Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer. Her work and life was so important. She didn't deserve to be treated like she was. I'm thankful for her life and legacy.
    I think black people really need to listen to her and how hard it was to vote. The regular democratic party wasn't open to them being included initially. There's a lesson in this.

    Mama Fannie Lou Hamer is a remarkable warrior who bravely took the evils inflicted against her. Mama Fannie Lou Hamer fought for the rights of our African masses in Mississippi. Mama Fannie was strong and beautiful and she didn’t allow racists to intimidate her. Mama Fannie is my sheroe who dedicated her life by making sure that Afro Americans in Mississippi were treated equally . RIP Mama Fannie Lou Hamer.
    The two shits that sexually abused her one of them was a Tom. I wouldn’t mind standing up for this remarkable woman.
