Fannie Lou Hamer lived on the former plantation owned by Senator James Eastland a very conservative politician from Mississippi. He claimed the “residents” still on the plantation had a home for life. Fannie was one of my heroes as she spoke out. It took great courage. This is a clip from that story.

    My mother, Barbara Covington, grew up during the depression in rural Canada. She became a minister in the United Church of Canada and then a noted civil rights activist in the United States. She and Fanny Lou Hammer were close friend in the struggle for fair housing and voting rights.

    She was an amazing and remarkable woman .. what's surprising is that she is still relatively unknown by most Americans... she was one of the key women in the civil rights struggle ..God Bless her soul because she suffered such a lot of hardship and brutal beatings at the hands of the police .. she died of cancer in 1977 .. But she tried to make this world a better place .. she fought for the right to vote , social justice and that the truth of oppression , racism , and inequality be exposed...

    2022 and the same shit going on. We spent 2 trillion dollar on the war in Afghanistan and we have people living on the dam street. The money get spent on military contractors. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it would cost $20 billion to end homelessness in the United States. That is a big number, yes, but let’s put it into perspective:
    Americans spend $19 billion a year on unplugged appliances.
    Americans spend more than $35 billion a year on gym memberships.
    The US government spent around $718 billion on its military in 2019 alone.
    You need to understand if you live in impoverished conditions the less likely you are to vote! People in these conditions believe their vote does not matter; it lead to criminal conviction and they lose their right to vote; or bogged down at work you can work 2 jobs and it not be enough for rent.

    Fannie Lou Hamer was such an AMAZING BRAVE UNDERRATED HERO!💫 The old gentleman said, went and fought in Vietnam. Then come back and don't have a decent bed to lay in or job. That tells you what white people think of us.

    Fascinating bit of history. I never knew Ms. Hamer had such a direct personal connection to Senator Eastland. I wonder if Eastland ever thought about how much courage it took for her to speak out as she did. Any idea what year was this from?

    Those poor Black people were practically in slavery. So sad. Slavery didn't end in 1865; not in the Deep South.
    P.S. Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer is one of my heroes.
