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

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!

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

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.

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.

"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!

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
