[@Pulsonar]

@@vergespierre4271 You’re right, it was a few years ago when I made that comment. I stopped using the term ‘African American’ when referring to black American citizens. In fact, I simply call them American, and only bring skin colour or ethnicity into it if the topic concerns race. When I thought about it, the name ‘African American’ isn’t correct. To me it sounds as if they don’t belong and only just arrived in America as recent immigrants of their own free will. Then why don’t we refer to white Americans as European Americans? It sounds just as ridiculous from the same perspective. Most black Americans have no connection with Africa whatsoever other than some long lost lineage at least 6-7 generations ago when slavery was in place before the US civil war. The ones that do are true recent immigrants with US citizenship and not even they are called African American, but instead Nigerian-American, Ghanaian Americans, or from whichever country they originated from within the continent of Africa.

I don't know how Caucasians, who have familial roots in America that stretch for several hundred years of generations, feel so comfortable with their history. So comfortable as to make their history a standard in our educational system's curriculum like it's not barbarism while simultaneously muting other experiences who bring to light their depravity. So comfortable as to have no real remorse nor accountability to work to right those wrongs because today's descendants are still benefiting from those atrocities and don't want to give up their privilege for equity. I'd be deeply ashamed. This woman was ALIVE within the last 50 years but not LIVING because she continuously had to fight to be treated like a human, too recent for comfort and Black people are STILL dealing with this. I never knew her story in depth but I'm SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL I know now. She's just another Black woman I'm going to use to model my life after on how to Survive and Better America.

I will try and I will acknowledge if I don't do enough. I saw Fannie Lou portrayed in a film about Pres. Johnson and here I am trying to educate myself and I'm very sorry to see black people hurling rocks at me because of the color of my skin.

She really was something. Just a beautiful and brave person. A real life super hero and she still doesn’t get enough praise ❤️

[@MeMeMinx99]

A monument has now been erected in her honor at the Indianola courthouse Sept/Oct 2020. Thank you Mrs. Hamer- because of YOU, I can ❤️❤️

[@Kim-mz8co]

Wow. An amazing life. I was raised in the United States so I was never taught about this patriot. I worked in politics starting when I was 9 in 1964, was a political science major, history minor, in college, worked in Washington DC one summer, and served as a member of the Arizona delegation to a Democratic National Convention too. I m completely disgusted by Johnson and Humphrey's actions against her. I didn't know this amazing woman's story until seeing this video. Thank you.

[@annabellawr]

This woman's eyes hold's all that she's endured. I'm ashamed for not having known about her until and am saddened that our US history courses have not included her into the curriculum. What an honorable, defiant, and powerful woman!! May she rest in peace.

Fannie Lou showed tenacity and bravery in her quest for equality! Kudos to you, Fannie Lou!

[@maryjanekirkland5201]

Wow, she went through a lot of stuff to help our people. She also suffered a lot all the beating she took while in jail.

We are still sick and tired, Thanks Mrs. Hamer, We remember, The Power still goes on.

[@HazelHoneyBun]

This is a video that should have been shown in schools

[@emmadalrymple4102]

This tireless woman needs to be recognized and remembered with honor. I admire her inexhaustible drive and justness. May she Rest In Peace.

[@shaunas5773]

I’m so proud of her with all that was done to her she kept rising back up to fight for us! Can you imagine if she was alive today what we all could learn from her! Such intelligence and strength!! So admirable!!! God bless Fannie Lou Hamer’s soul and may we never forget her sacrifices! Always vote and don’t be discouraged!!! We do matter and that we need to believe!

[@juliancisthebest]

She really is such a hero, a true inspiration. I can’t imagine enduring all she went through and still having the energy to do all of that great activism. Her life would make a great biopic by the way

[@heatherjohnson3002]

What an amazing woman! No matter what happened she kept moving forward. She is a true inspiration. I am just finding out about her. Glad I came across this video.

[@jewell92]

Thank you! They "forgot" to mention things like this to northern white kids.

[@crest4sensation938]

True history is not taught in many Southern schools either.

[@mmoore5190]

They forgot to mention to the northern black kids too.

[@Covingtonao]

That's true

[@que3817]

Maybe because that ISN'T WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT???

[@davidpickren9736]

What an Awesome women. I was only a child in the 60's but I remember a lot of the racism that wad happening in those days. I diden't understand it and I still don't. God bless this great women and her legacy.

Thank you for this very informative video. So very sad what she and soooo many others had to endure then and what so many are enduring now.

[@ashleighgibson3960]

Insane! I've never heard of her till now. I sat and listened in awe! She was truly a force.

[@ms.trishs6481]

Dam. This was messed up. Poor lady. Same stuff, different year.

[@lianacordova8094]

America now is nothing like American South in the early 1900's. Believing you live under these same circumstances is a terrible way to live and its not true. So much has changed thanks to people like Hamer and many many more.

[@voraciouschild9226]

Let Spike Lee direct the movie.

[@sadraon8157]

Thank you for bringing Fannie Lou Hamer to my attention. It's sad I have never heard of her before. The 1960's is not too far gone. I'm sure some of these people against what she stood for are still alive! Thank you Ms. Hamer.

[@foreveryoungreborns5149]

Good for her to continue to push forward in spite of everything she endured!!!! Truly inspiring!!
