“They talked about how it was our rights as human beings to register and vote. I never knew we could vote before. Nobody ever told us.” - Fannie Lou Hamer

Everyone should know her name. She was born in Mississippi. She and her husband were sharecroppers. Fannie Lou Hamer fought for Democracy.

Fannie Lou Hamer was beaten, nearly killed as she fought for Democracy. LBJ tried to drown her out so no one could hear her speech at the Democratic convention. So when I hear people talk about how they just can’t vote for a Democrat because they’re disappointed. Think about Fannie Lou Hamer.
