Rip ms. Fannie lou hamer. Thank you for all u have done.

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. :-(

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.

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.

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.

She put her life on the line to fight for what she believed in.⭐

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."

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!!!

YOU CENSORED HER TESTIMONY AS WELL

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...

"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!

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.
