But at the end it BACKED FIRED.. AND HER TESTIMONY OVER AND OVER..LOL MIAKES YOU WONDER WHAT GOES ON TODAY.. WHAT IS SO MANY THINGS GOING ON ALL OVER THE WORLD, IMPORTANT THINGS FOR US TO KNOW BUT ALL THE NEWS STATIONS ARE TALKING ABOUT NOTHING...
Reese Goldess It is a crime for us elders not to teach our family or true history ! Most adults doin’t know their history ! There is no excuse for this ! Doin’t Waite or trust other races to teach you or your children anything ! Our history is out there to get, get !
this is when the "movement" still had soul, clarity of mind, and sound direction....not a bunch of confused lost souls marching in pussy hats led by Madonna the Queen of Creepy, Hollyweird, mentally stunted, mind controlled Kanye West shaking hands with Trump, Bullshit!
@@ms.carolanderson3092 She is no better than the albinos who started coming into the world since the early 1900s, and who who are mostly children and are still being sold as objects for $ ( slavery is ugly in ANY part of the world WE ALL SHARE ) : Not ghosts but human beings. : Albino hunting in Africa. : Why are African albino people being hunted in Africa? NO ONE is free until EVERYONE is free. DON'T LEAVE THEM BEHIND! REMEMBER THEM! AND HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH. Remember that the black lives matter is a movement for ALL blacks, not just SOME blacks on earth 🌎 THAT is the whole point of it. AND it's being done in the so - called MOTHERLAND? 🫂 😗
WOOW you took down something that is human history as if I am not part of your comment section. I will simply make flyers, I don't need YOU. YOU ARE 💩 🤮 SHAME ON YOU.
@James Watts I don't believe that all of the black folks that went to college sold us out. And not all the black poor folks were on what she was on. Nevertheless, that should tell us that education, especially in this era, is what we make it.
From a family of 20 children parents who were sharecropers came this remarkable woman. We owe so much to her she knew the struggle would go on and on. God bless her soul.
If they taught us about Mrs. Hamer, they'd have to teach us how they beat her. How she was beaten nearly to death, for trying to register to vote. I'm so glad her story is getting out today.
While it is very commendable Ms. Butler, that you "shall not forget the sacrifices and struggles..." of Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer, the truth, is that many Americans, of all races, have.
Amen!!! Jesus made us free over two thousand years ago; spiritually free from the bondage of sin. Praise His name! Mrs. Hamer fought for physical freedom; teaching America that humanity, civility and love is what ensures liberty and justice for everyone.
When you speak truth, you don’t need notes, you don’t have to try to remember what you said before because truth never changes. That’s why I love truth. Woman, Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer, you blessed my soul with your testimony. May you be in the presence of God.
I am an older white woman and know a great, good woman when I see one and Fannie Lou Hamer is that woman. She deserves so much more recognition than she's received.
patricia x that’s awesome that you see that...can you help the people of color get their reparations? People of color have been fighting for it for years , but we also need some people of non color to be on our side and help us.
@@arayasunsh9 girl what the hell are you doing? Begging yo oppressor to help you get reparations.....it'll never happen. They don't care about what we been thru. They want you to pick yourself up by your boot straps. No matter they paid everybody else reparations. We'll get ours in blood
@@arayasunsh9 you are correct to ask the people who have the most to help the people who have less, accept what is given, and make up for the difference. A quote of Nelly Fuller Jr.
I love educating my mind. Inspirational figures that I never even heard of. So sick of hearing about Washington Lincoln Kennedy an the rest of em. When I got to stumble upon just strong courageous black heroes. It makes me proud to be black. 👊 👊 fight the power.
Sonny’s big sister Beeski There are some things we have to take responsibility for otherwise we start to believe that label “victim”. One of my mother’s favorite saying, “one monkey don’t stop no show”. “The white man can only stop you if you let ‘em”. At any point you can educate yourself on black history by going to the library and now RU-vid. I started my journey 12 years ago. There are a lot of documentaries and books available. Enjoy the journey.
@Tadhg Flaherty Im a truth teller I shared this on $ace&0ok & got kicked off in early 2019 add the F& B where they belong they alter everything i text or post online
she spoke these prophetic words, "a nation divided against itself is on the way out"..these words are chilling when you look at what is happening to our country today, 2019...
I would like to know more about Queen Fannie Lou Hamer...our history need to be taught and I am so grateful for these recordings and I thank the person for the upload...We will never forget you..Ase
Fannie Lou Hamer WOOOOOOOOOOW!! WHAT AN INTELLIGENT, AMAZING, TRUTHFUL AND COURAGEOUS BLACK BEAUTIFUL!! WOMAN!! I tip my hat to You!! "Your freedom is Shackled to mine" So true!!
I totally agree with you. It is a damn shame, we black people really don't know who we are, because we don't know much about our history. All we know, are SELECTIVE history, which are designed to keep us ignorant. Professor James Small, has said that the whole history of black people, needed to be REWRITTEN , because they are full of lies. He and other black scholars have been challenging the history of black people, which were written by white historians. I hope one day, we black people, will learn the truth about who we are
Rosa was light skin. Soft spoken. More "palatable". But you bring a dark skin loud outspoken take no shit big bone black woman out and let her loose who's not scared or worried about the outcome, they can't have that.
@Freddie Davis nobody's trying to put them against each other. She's simply saying how can one teach about Rosa not getting off the bus, but not of the struggle and plight of Fannie. Who even went before Congress and testimony was so powerful the president interrupted her to try and not get ppl to hear what she has to say.
I would like to apologize to her because I just found out about her today...It brings tears to my eyes when I think about all the things my ancestors went through so that I can have the freedom that I have today. It also brings tears to my eyes when I think of all the people of color who don’t take advantage of the opportunities that our ancestors died for...I feel like even if you feel college isn’t for you do it anyways because someone died for you to have that opportunity...if you don’t agree with government still vote because many died for that...and the list goes on.
You and your generation have the opportunity to become a "Dannie Lou Hammer"! The Silent Genetation and the Baby Boomer Generation paved the way it your generation and those after you to GET UP & continue the fight! Carry the torch, young sis!
Very powerful and motivational. I hate it that our black leaders were so "all-inclusive". That has never worked for blacks. Eventually, we need a leader that studies history and takes the hint, white people dont want us to be prosperous and if we want a better future for ourselves, its more than likely gonna have to be a future excluding contact with white people. W Our leaders keep trying to force "we are one" down our throats and that has had us stuck for centuries. We are not one and we need to understand that just because we are a very accepting race of people, that doesnt mean everyone else is, or has to be.
@@SuperKaren1953 girl shut up. Talking about a democrat. It don't matter if it's a demokkkract or a republikkkan. They all are the same and don't mean black folks no good.
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. We, the people, must continue her legacy and fight for the upward mobility and empowerment of the Black community. May her name forever be engraved in the halls of history for her outstanding work and achievements to make a better world for us all.
Her words are more relevant today, more than fifty years later, than anyone could have ever known then! This is what is so heartbreaking to me: this generation has not known the price that was paid for the freedoms they won't even exercise today. They have no appreciation or gratitude for the hard-won battles of equality.
She was such a remarkable ,courageous ,woman ,I am 48 years old and am African American and so ashamed that I have never heard of Fannie ,that’s such a shame that some black people don’t even vote ,and in my opinion the black race is so divided ,where are my reparations ?
She knew how to live. Courage, Faith and action. The Spirit of God was in her. Her spirit inspires and gives us strength even today. Love you dear mother.
I'm a 67 years old black man. Then and now! WoW! Things haven't changed but for a hand full yet we're still pushing forward! Young people are our future for change so don't give in to the government's oppression of all people. Stand Up for Justice and equality for all men are created equal In God eyes.
Black filmmakers should really come together and do a movie about this remarkable woman! Her story is so compelling! MOST of the women we tend to associate with The Civil Rights Movement (Coretta Scott King, Myrlie Beasley Evers, Rosa Parks, Betty Shabaz, etc.) are usually in the role of "wives" or "supporters" of the male leaders of the movement...... Fannie Lou Hamer, is one of the few WOMEN who was actually a Civil Rights LEADER in her own right.... That alone, makes her worth doing a movie about!
HELLO CAN I SPEAK WITH YOU A.S.A.P. ABOUT HER? AND OTHERS .I WAS BORN IN HER HOME TOWN. ON A PLANTATION THEIR. BUT MOVE NORTH IN THE 70'S YOU MIGHT KNOW MY FAMILY.
She was a warrior. Now she returns on watch a GUARDIAN pulling down some serious strongholds of fear based hatreds. Love you Mrs. Hamer. I'm no ways tired now! 😘
I think as Africans we should recall our children in America back home! They are suffering so much out there as if they are orphans! They are our children We want them here with us! Proverbs 15: 17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Fannie Lou Hamer is one my all time favourite civil rights leaders in my history. She was defiant as well as beautiful. She fought for the justice as well as equality of Africans in Mississippi being denied by the home of the so called slave trade and that’s Washington DC. Mama Fannie condemned the racist and injustice murders in Mississippi such as Brother Medgar Evers, Brother Emmitt Till and Brother James Chaney as well as what these racist pigs did by humiliating her. A great civil rights leader in Mississippi. Mama Fannie also went to Guinea too.
This woman, Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer, a woman without pedigree or portfolio ought to be known throughout every haunt, and hut and hamlet and home of America and beyond. Powerful, yet humble, prescient and prophetic, yet contemporaneous, Mrs. Hamer's statue ought to reside in the hallowed (sic) space of Statuary Hall in the U.S. Congress. Bruised, beaten, bothered and belittled yet unbought and unbowed, Mrs. Hamer is a true American heroine. I pray that Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey or some other person of means and/or influence will gravitate to her story and help resurrect her name and memory to its proper place in herstory. She is, my friends, the apotheosis of greatness and courage in the face of trouble and tumult; unquestionably, sainthood should be her apogee
Blaq Light many many commemorative statues all across this land. Wherever we are, she is. She built a country for herself and asks only that we share in it with her. I’m so ashamed of my white skin, I’m ashamed of my children’s white skin. I didn’t participate in the horrors that were done to the peoples of community but I also didn’t stop it. That will always be my shame. I know I am the ugliest flower in the field. Thankfully my roots are rotting and I am destined to compost. May I be of service to you when the earth is done with me.
