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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
