Awesome, I am speechless. My mother was from Mississippi, and several of my siblings were born there also. My mother moved "up North" to have a better life. It was courageous to leave and even more so to stay and fight the system of oppression!
Thank you LORD for giving Fannie Lou Hamer the strength to lift her body up after suffering such a evil experience of brutality by men. Mother Fannie I love you and am in awe of your courage and strength as a beautiful, remarkably wise and intelligent black woman. Our leader, our ancestor and our mother.
What a powerful courageous woman. No today speaks with this kind of depth, sincerity and boldness today. Listening because I purchased the book Fannie Lou Hamer "Tell It Like It Is" and While reading it I wanted to hear her voice. Tell your grandkids about extraordinary African American woman; plant the seed for you never know who will spring up and take her mantle and run with it.. Yes, we do need a movie about her life and the movement she inspired.
Four of us are doing a reading if this speech in church today in New Haven for our annual African American Read-In. I am proud to give this brave woman a voice 50 years after she was so wrongfully abused in Mississippi.
IF YOU IS FROM MISSISSIPPI. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU CONTACT ME.I I WAS BORN DOWN THEIR WENT NORTH IN THE 70'S YOU CAN CONTACT ME HERE. THANK YOU. I LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW?
she was an ordinary woman with extraordinary qualities. and unlike so many of todays political leaders.she stood for what was right and just and her speeches are so powerful and inspiring
For someone without an education, she speaks with such an eloquence like she has graduated from Harvard... She is smart, witty, poignant, and uplifting!
Lord we thank u for Mother Fannie.A true Black woman We need more .This is truth from the bone and heart.Yes Ms Fannie know the truth From top to bottom .Oh lord touch her with peace and love
I have always heard pieces of her speeches, but this is the first time I've heard a full speech. This was powerful!! She would've been 100 yrs old this year. Thank God for this woman!!
#1 Role Model Fannie Lou Hamer Thank God for your tenacity and determination not to let the evil take you down! You were/are compassion and grace in action. 🙏 ❤️
She is an inspiration to us all. Her bravery and strength is superhuman. I wish the world had a million more like her. I could not have endured the life she lived.
1962 I was 4 years old this Endtime Handmaiden, an awesome instrument of inspiration crying out with an anointing which caused agitation throughout the nation. Decreeing a declaration decision, "We are on our way!". Insensitive, insulting inspite of endurance of being brutally beaten with billy club saying you wish you were dead! Tried and convicted unwarranted. We refuse to turnaround. Mighty is the word by female that published it. What a great and wonderful word second to none.
+Shelly Lewis I hope he will give them to the Mississippi State Archives or JSU archives. There is a wonderful interview with her in the MS State Archives! It would be a good thing for history if your nephew offers them to Library of Congress or another suitable archive of his choice.
Powerful woman with a powerful voice! One thing I didn’t agree with our sister on is loving our open enemy. I don’t love them at all. I will not pray with or for them!
Yes it does ..I lived through it. ..being from New Orleans ..we were for the most part insulated from the violence and craziness of the hate mongers surrounding our parish and state ..my three uncles were lawyers (two later were on the beach )..and would travel to different parishes in our Louisiana that were trying to abuse the rights of people of color ... Mississippi a little over an hour away ..then Alabama and Georgia .. defending civil rights workers ..the black farmers and residents that were standing up against oppression ..I traveled throughout the South and saw the Civil Rights movement play out before my very eyes ..I'm glad my family from my Great Aunt the Matriarch of the family who was a community organizer on down to my parents participated with strength and determination in the fight against injustice .. ironically my cousins from California were doing the same thing in California .. representing and fighting along and for the migrant workers that picked the crops of the Golden State ..this country still has a lot to answer for ..we will never forget..🤨😔
