- Colin Edwards interviews Fannie Lou Hamer on the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, voting rights, human rights, and politics during an interview he taped during her visit to Berkeley. Mrs. Hamer also relates a vicious beating she received in a Winona, Mississippi, jail from two African American prisoners forced by officials. She discusses her admiration for the Deacons for Defense and her friendship with Malcolm X.
She would have been an exceptional congresswoman.
I would like to see a movie about her struggles during the civil rights movement.
For Fannie to pick herself up out of sharecropping and develop a fighting organization for human freedom against all odds puts her in the company of the best of that generation. Her clarity and humanity after what she'd been through is hard to understand. She saw the US as it truly was, a contradiction of vicious cruelty and personal failure at the top levels yet quite capable organized resistance at the bottom.
We need a movie about this brilliant, courageous woman!! I knew nothing about her, until now....she is such an important part of AA History!!!
NEVER DEFEATED! GOD BLESS HER
I firmly believe if she was running for office in today's Democratic party, she would be denied by every means necessary. She was brave and intelligent as any honorable American.
God raised up his servant Mrs Hamer I have never met a greater person
Right On Ms. Hamer❤🖤💚...(RIP) Queen
WE AS A PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY!!! MUST NOT LET THIS POWERUL!! HIISTORY!!! BE SILENT!! ENEY!!! LONGER!! AND TEACHING!! SHALL!!! START!! IN EVERY BLACK 'S!! HOME!!! VERY, VERY,VERY POWERFUL!!! BLACK !!! QUEEN!!!
I Have The Same Fire In Me As Mrs. Hamer! I 'HATE' Unfairness!
And they keep saying that she only had a "six grade education." Does she sound like or speak like a "6th" grader to you? Just because she drop out of school early did not mean that she stop learning. Ignorant people.
I keep thinking back to how old I was, where I was, in 1965. ....what were my parents doing? Did they hear Fannies voice? Part of me wants to look back in my history from the perspective of my parents at a time in MY life ‘15 years old’ when I didn’t have a clue. Thanks to interviews like this I now have a clue. Thank you Fannie.
This was indeed a very fine lady! The details of her vicious assault in prison at 25m would make a stone weep.
I Really Appreciate Fannie As A Woman And Hero🙏🏾❤️😘 May This Good Woman Rest In Peace And Look Down Upon Our Race And For The Ppl That Fights The Same Fight That We All Deserve And THATS Fairness, Being Treated Right And Equality..
Monsieur Colin Edwards, British journalist audio interview with Madame Fannie Lou Hamer on 24 sept 1965
Oh my Father i have grained a lot from reading these articles. Thanks
What an amazing woman. Much wiser and smarter than I will ever be, easily. I remember reading "This Little Light of Mine" in the 1990s, and wondering, then, why Ms. Hamer got lost as some sort of footnote of the movement toward the end of her short life. I'm glad to see these interviews archived, the documentaries, and now let's see a biographical film about her remarkable life.
...And this savage country hasn't changed since.
🙏🏽 for this.
What an amazing lady 😎❤️
