The Lord will call us all one day, and then we will be a human spirtual being. We will be in his presence and the others will be in a place of torment .
It is so funny that white people don't like black people because of something that black people had no control over...being black. It's also funny that white people had no control over being white.
daranelson SHE HAS RELATIVES HERE IN CHICAGO. A VERY COURAGEOUS WOMAN. THESE BONES SHALL LIVE. GOD WILL BREATHE ON US AND WE WILL STAND. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
It was a service for All of us! That’s the whole point; we are all humans, and should all be treated equally. When we don’t, which is made abundantly clear during the COVID supported, Civil Rights Movement, we all suffer! We all watch religious leaders, White religious leaders be gassed and shoved in front of the white house. We’ve been watching young people of all ethnicities have their civil right to protest be challenged, reporters hit with rubber bullets. When white wake up to the social construct of race that in the end, only harms them, then we can wake up to what it must be like to be separated at borders from your babies. As long as the puppets fall for the Us vs Them game, the plutocracy will continue their march towards fascism and we will all suffer more...those that live through it that is.
@@freshencounter Can we also remember those whose homes & businesses were destroyed in the riots?Those who were randomly assaulted by thugs pretending to be protesters?Two black policemen who were murdered in Missouri & Oakland respectively?Innocent motorists pulled from their vehicles & assaulted for driving down the street at the wrong time?Fires?Looting?Theft?My point is:There is no justification for violence regardless of who's doing it.Not for cops,not for civilians.I am aware of this poor but brave lady who endured such horrendous savagery by white racist Mississippi police.She descibed her ordeal with such eloquence but with painful reflection.What a terrible time that was.GOD forgive Mississippi,hopefully you've learned.People:Stop the madness,stop the violence,stop the misguided anarchy,all of it.Fannie Lou Hamer was a woman of GOD,a true hero,may she rest in peace.Some of you may laugh at the words but:GOD is going to judge us all.There will be no color line at the judgement.Repent,America!
@@Crezelltree4261- I understand your point fully and you're exactly right; God will judge us all. But please think about this; a lot of the violence and looting that's been going on in recent years, would probably not exist if the people of this country had fully dealt with the racism that permeates the criminal justice system and other areas of society. It's wrong to kill, steal or enact any form of violence or mayhem. But when people think there is little to no hope left, they let out their frustrations by doing what often causes more pain. With everything that is going on in this country right now, praying is what every Christian should be doing, not just to make THINGS better but to make US better. Be blessed!
There is no woman who has ever spoken so eloquent and passionate about just wanting to be accepted as a human being in the state of Mississippi.you can feel her spirit and her passion her sadness her sorrow. this woman was beautiful in every way and we need to acknowledge her in a book a movie anyting on this woman may she rest well and rest with the father forever.
I agree! And to be back in those times in the south when improverished blacks weren't fortunate enough or were prevented from being able to get an real education, she was able to articulate well enough to be in the forefront teaching others what needed to be done and passionate enough to see it through until she got weary and "sick and tired of being sick and tired!"😢 God bless your soul Ms. Fannie.🙏🏽😢👑 #RIP
Tasha N James , Miss Fannie Lou as I so fondly called her when I was child does have a book titled “This Little Light of Mine” written by Kay Mills. The first publishing date was 1993 by Dutton. It shares the history of her life and the history of the Civil Rights Movement in and around Sunflower County. Miss Fannie Lou was one of my grandparents neighbors.
Tasha, here I am one year later and probably old enough to be your mother; and I do have an English/Journalism degree, but never has anyone expressed such sincere and honest sentiments as you've expressed in your comments. Mrs. Hamer does make you feel her passion which allows you to connect with her and instills an urgency within you to move; do something; anything to help our people. We are facing a great urgency now in 2020, with the killing of our people, and once again, as in my and Ms. Hamer's day, Voter Suppression. I was a very young girl in the 60s, but I remember her well and the work she did to get us where we are now. The future is in your, and other strong black women and men's hands. From what I've witnessed over the past two weeks, I believe Mrs. Hamer would be proud, I know I am.
Damn me too we must do ALOT better out here. If we are not teaching our kids at home about our history and important people besides MLK then we will never know. I feel so ashamed i never heard of this courageous woman.
Thank You Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer. You, your family, and your peers are honored every time I get in the voting booth for EVERY city, state, and federal election!!!. THANK YOU DEARLY!❤
Thanks to you Mrs Fannie Lou Hamer for opening so many eyes of black and white people in the world. I am a 75 year old man. To day October 27 2016 is the first time I have ever heard one of Her own speeches. Shame on me. All I ever heard was Fannie Lou Hamer was the lady who said "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired". Now that I have heard some of her speeches I do understand being sick and tired. I was born and raised in Leland Mississippi.
She remembered everything at verbatim. Her mind is amazing even after being beaten in the head and possibly suffering from a brain injury she went through everything thoroughly in so much detail. I am in Awe of her.
I was thinking about this too. She could read and remember the name plate on the man who beat her, even after....she was *meant* to empower and educate people, her MIND was amazing and powerful!!
Fannie Lou Hamer was an amazing woman! I'm sure she'd still be on the front lines if she were alive! Appears not to much has changed in America! So many magnificent, inspirational leaders we have had! Let not their work and words be in vain! We are reverting...imagine what she, Malcolm, Martin and so many others would say to us today. Be prepared...this is what "Let's Make America Great" looks like to the one who said it! Anyone notice how prevalent police brutality/racism is in comparison and Trump is already threatening Chicago with the FED's (Martial Law)! Who do you think he is going to target?
So true,I say that all time,that goes for the rest of the civil rights leaders that died to give us this freedom. Some of them are probably shaking their heads in their graves,looking down at young blacks that are not voting,working or leading by example.
They take things for granted because they don’t know their history. Information like this isn’t in history books and they’re not being educated at home. A lot of children today are being raised by the media. Sadly many children today are raising themselves. The education systems would need to be more extensive and cover more than they are. And the family structure including mother and father should be top priority as well so that their is support at home for their children to attend HBCU’s and have other opportunities to know and appreciate who they are and where they came from. So really it’s out of their ignorance, not entirely their fault.
My great great grand father was John Thomas Hawthorne of Doddsville MS, his son was Lincoln Hawthorne of Doddsville MS, his daughter was my grandmother Clytee Hawthorne of Ruleville MS, my ancestors sat with Fannie Lou Hamer. My father was born in Ruleville MS. My mother was born in Moorhead MS. Sunflower County Mississippi [Ruleville] now bears the statue of Fannie Lou. To all of my ancestors and those who walked with this giant of a human being Rest In Peace. Rest Fannie Lou - Rest sister. [June 5, 2020]
So sorry to hear the horrible beating you endured at the hands of these evil devil filled animals. One thing i know there is a Living God. And He said whatsoever a man sow that shall he also reap.
It don't matter because we are God's children. They *trieed* 2 bury us but *#ForgotWeWereSeeds* we are here with our ancestors spirits, guidance and more importantly blood/DNA running through our veins
I believe every black person went through a lot from the white savages. I bet they all had horrific stories Can you imagine living in that time? Even though it's only a lil different now
Those of us who know must spread this history to the ones that don’t. Dang if this doesn’t drive you to actually make change I don’t know what else would.
What a great example. It's a shame we are viewed as"complining" about slavery. Some Whypippo love to say something that happened over 200 yrs ago shouldn't affect us. Well, what about what happened in the 60s or even yesterday.... Racial injustice is our constant.
So grateful for you Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer!!! Such a strong black woman. You've inspired me tremendously. I feel so honored to have been born on your birthday.
She proved that we can all work together to help one another. They don't want us standing in solidarity together. It's why they work so hard to continue to keep us divided. She is also an undeniable example of courage & what it really means to stand up & speak out against injustice. They can't afford to have her story inspire a multitude of others to find that same kind of courage in themselves.And there is no questioning the fact that one cannot help but be inspired as well as in awe of such a stellar human being. She truly is a hero of this country.
The fact that I'm learning about this awesome lady on RUclips and not in the history book is heart breaking 💔. Continue to rest in paradise #FannieLou. Your work's are appreciated 🤞🏽
WOULD you like to know the real meaning behind Thanksgiving. Lot of folks don't know. It would make you think if you should continue. Read "The Hidden History of Massachusetts" Dr. Tingba Apidta. Good read. 👍👍👍
So glad that this and other records of Fannie Lou Hamer's dedication and powerful work are on the internet, especially now when the Florida governor is doing his best to erase Black history being taught in AP high school classes and everywhere. The young people in Florida are standing up, and I am sure that Fannie Lou Hamer is an inspiration to those who know her. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank God for the Fannie’s in this country. Her story should be spoken of from rooftops and should be in history books. Thank you. Thank you soooo much Mrs. Hamer for you accomplished. God was with you warrior princess to fight injustices.
Fannie Lou Hamer, I honor you and thank you. In tears I thank you. In heartfelt pain and anguish, I thank you. I cannot begin to imagine the pain you suffered but I thank you, I thank you, I thank you.
😔😭😢😭To this very day I am terrified to even set foot in the state of Mississippi because of the horrible stories. A few years ago I got the courage to visit the State of Alabama on a business trip because I felt protected but the thought of Mississippi still terrifies me. 😔😭😢😭
When you fail to vote, you are spitting in the face of this woman and every person that was beaten, tortured and killed in the past 400 years to give you that right. Please don't let their sacrifices be in vain.
ruclips.net/user/shorts0iebfee9oX4?feature=share I used to say this as well; I feel differently now. The elders thought that voting would make a positive difference. Maybe give them a voice and start fair treatment. As we can clearly see all these years later, that's not how it is. I doubt if the elders would still be saying "Go vote". They were more intelligent as well, they didn't go through this public school system. How long should you do something that doesn't work, somehow believing the ancestors would be in agreement? This country already has the next couple of presidents picked out
I will start by saying I love you Mrs. Fanny Lou Hamer. You were clearly beautiful inside and out. What you endured on our behalf is beyond comprehension. It should be that your story is told in every history lesson around the whole world. It is beyond my comprehension how any one black person could forget what you had to endure for our vote. I prayer to meet you in the free world to come. May your soul continue to sleep easy until. I will never forget.
Fannie Lou Hamer is a Role Model to me.....I respect her,,I appreciate her...Rest In Peace... Beautiful woman.... I am on the clock here in Melrose Park Illinois USA watching this video..
I will never understand the hate people have in their hearts. This woman truly was a sacrificial lamb just for her and others who looked like her to have the right to vote. You hear the pain in her voice. Lord bless her soul. America has a serious price to pay for the many lives invaded and taken
Yes my hero of all times. I to feel her spirit so deep in my soul its scary sometimes , what a brave and strong woman she was and always will be..🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Malcolm & Martin are taught in school.But Fannie and many many others are the silent difference makers that are deeply in our community changing minds! I thank my teacher Mr. Richardson who taught me in 1992-95 in Oakland CA many of these truths and changed my life! Education is one of the most important aspects for black liberation to elevate there minds bodys and souls! Mr. Independent Dave Dunson
The Constitution of the US doesn’t mean much for citizenships who were born in America particularly in in the Southern states. God rest your soul Ms Hamer I truly thank you for your zeal to be treated like a humanitarian.
I have so much reverence for Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer. Her work and life was so important. She didn't deserve to be treated like she was. I'm thankful for her life and legacy. I think black people really need to listen to her and how hard it was to vote. The regular democratic party wasn't open to them being included initially. There's a lesson in this.
Thanks to RUclips. If you really want to educate yourself about the People and this era, yes you can. Hearing their own voice telling the story they were living is worth more than thousand books.
Ms. Hamer puts you in Mississippi every time she speaks, gut-wrenching recollection of the struggle, its unimaginable pain, they experienced just trying to be recognized as human beings. Just thinkig anout that is painful!
I just found this. Very moving. This was done through democratic administration, president Johnson. Yet we blacks still want them in office. 1964 Democratic Party to 2020 DP is it better. If we had her now.
Lord!! My God the things that my people have been through but through it all Lord You never left us... RIP Mrs. Fannie my heart and my soul bears your pain.. Thank you Queen Fannie for doing the things you did... Forever in my heart...🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That's My Burning Question "Does The Constitution Of The United States Mean Anything??? And To Whom, If Not Caucasian??? I Love, Respect and Pray That I Honor Miss Fannie Lou' Legacy Of Strength, Resilience and Fight ❤💕❤
Her story is very compelling and she speaks in a way that totally captivates the listener. When she talks, people listen. She doesn't seem to get the recognition she deserves.
She went through this just to be treated like a human being!!!! NEVER FORGET.
The Lord will call us all one day, and then we will be a human spirtual being. We will be in his presence and the others will be in a place of torment .
It is so funny that white people don't like black people because of something that black people had no control over...being black. It's also funny that white people had no control over being white.
❤️🖤💚
I wonder did she try to press charge against those evil cops I would like to call them something else but I will not
she needs to be in our history books... what an incredible woman...I can feel her spirit now. Thank you Fannie Lou, thank you....
YOU TUBE KEEP DELETING MY COMMENTS FOR TELLING THE TRUTH.
Do you write your own history books?
I agree!!!!
daranelson SHE HAS RELATIVES HERE IN CHICAGO. A VERY COURAGEOUS WOMAN. THESE BONES SHALL LIVE. GOD WILL BREATHE ON US AND WE WILL STAND. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
A true warrior!!!
Dear Fannie we will forever be grateful for your service to your people.
She kept on fighting to the end.

Damn me too we must do ALOT better out here. If we are not teaching our kids at home about our history and important people besides MLK then we will never know. I feel so ashamed i never heard of this courageous woman.
We must teach our children and adults too. They don't want you to know your power your intelligence nor your roots..if we all did my my my ...
Oh wow I’m 26 and I Thank You God my parents and my teachers in school taught me about Ms. Fannie Lou Hammer.
I’m 35 and my first time as well
I'm 36 and our school's are so bad I'm making sure my twins who are 8years old know about this

Miss Fannie Lou Hamer, I will call on your Spirit when I need the energy to move forward.. Peace & Blessings
Yusef Chisholm CALL ON JESUS JUST LIKE SHE DID.
Absolutely
Amen Sandra Robert.
I’m with you, Yusef!
She is a TRUE queen. She earned that title. Queen Fannie Lou Hamer we salute you!
She remembered everything at verbatim. Her mind is amazing even after being beaten in the head and possibly suffering from a brain injury she went through everything thoroughly in so much detail. I am in Awe of her.
God covered her🙇🏽♀️
Me too, Mrs.Fannie was Bad To The Bone,
Andrea Ellington I knew Ms Fannie Lou and her husband Mr
Pap all my life ! They were friends of my parents. My mother also was Ms Fannie LouH
I was thinking about this too. She could read and remember the name plate on the man who beat her, even after....she was *meant* to empower and educate people, her MIND was amazing and powerful!!
I love you Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer!!! I will NEVER FORGET!
She died at 60 years old , and look what she went through. The then president didnt want this conversation come out.
Not even 60...she was 59
Our people died so young, when they was in the Fight , for our people,same for Jackie Roberson
KILLER didnt want a whole lot of shit coming out.
And this happened not very long ago....
Words fail me
Fannie Lou Hamer was an amazing woman! I'm sure she'd still be on the front lines if she were alive! Appears not to much has changed in America!

So really it’s out of their ignorance, not entirely their fault.
They will find out soon.
Still being murdered 😪
Wow.. Her testimony is awesome!
She knows how to tell a story. Left a legacy of Divine inspiration
This is an incredibly sad and moving story. Thank you for educating me.
June 11, 2020 1st time learning of Fannie 👑. I want this to be aired on radios and TV networks and social media ads re run over & over
This woman is amazing and we are better as a country because she was willing to be strong, resilient, and brave.

I AM IN TEARS
There's more docu of her,n some with her dauther giving more serious situations❤
So sorry to hear the horrible beating you endured at the hands of these evil devil filled animals. One thing i know there is a Living God. And He said whatsoever a man sow that shall he also reap.
Can you imagine the pain #FannielouHamers went through? This really makes me fuming 😠. What a amazing testament of our ancestors persevering.
I can't imagine what her family went through!!
This is things ppl should know about America.
I am sure all that she went through must have shorten her life. Lord your people have suffered so much.
I was saying the same thing. We salute you Ms Fannie Mae thank you for your service! May your soul Continue to Rest in peace!
It don't matter because we are God's children. They *trieed* 2 bury us but *#ForgotWeWereSeeds* we are here with our ancestors spirits, guidance and more importantly blood/DNA running through our veins

You don't hear nobody talk about this lady she went true a lot RIP
Yes I’m in my 40’s and have never heard of her.
I believe every black person went through a lot from the white savages. I bet they all had horrific stories Can you imagine living in that time? Even though it's only a lil different now

She died so young..
THANK YOU Matthew Siegfried ....For posting this on RUclips
So grateful for you Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer!!! Such a strong black woman. You've inspired me tremendously. I feel so honored to have been born on your birthday.
Why isn't she in the history books. #UnSung Heroine
Let's sing her name now!! Speaking of, she did sing.
An album called "Songs my mother taught me" are beautiful.
Y y y ill tell u y because the mannn already thnk we got alot hereos , the want achknoledge anyone .

2020 and this same police brutality is still going on... Sad to say i never heard of this lady during school, thank you for sharing this video.
I love this woman! I was lucky enough to have learned about her in high school! Such a patriot, a power black woman, a role model for all!!
The fact that I'm learning about this awesome lady on RUclips and not in the history book is heart breaking 💔. Continue to rest in paradise #FannieLou. Your work's are appreciated 🤞🏽
And this happened not very long ago....
Words fail me.
Hearing her speak cause so much pain, and we celebrate Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving for what.
WOULD you like to know the real meaning behind Thanksgiving. Lot of folks don't know. It would make you think if you should continue. Read "The Hidden History of Massachusetts" Dr. Tingba Apidta. Good read. 👍👍👍
So glad that this and other records of Fannie Lou Hamer's dedication and powerful work are on the internet, especially now when the Florida governor is doing his best to erase Black history being taught in AP high school classes and everywhere. The young people in Florida are standing up, and I am sure that Fannie Lou Hamer is an inspiration to those who know her. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank God for the Fannie’s in this country. Her story should be spoken of from rooftops and should be in history books. Thank you. Thank you soooo much Mrs. Hamer for you accomplished. God was with you warrior princess to fight injustices.
This should be fannie lou homer day.
Civil Rights sheroe!!! Brave, fierce and determined Activist! Rest in Paradise
This is the REASON why we NEED to VOTE!!!!!!
Funny this is Comming Up Now
Sad Lots of People Don’t know A thing About
FANNIE LOU 😍
Fannie Lou Hamer, I honor you and thank you. In tears I thank you. In heartfelt pain and anguish, I thank you. I cannot begin to imagine the pain you suffered but I thank you, I thank you, I thank you.

RIP George Floyd!!! ..Still relevant today!
How is that 2020 we can't stop for the Africans history
When you fail to vote, you are spitting in the face of this woman and every person that was beaten, tortured and killed in the past 400 years to give you that right. Please don't let their sacrifices be in vain.
Real talk our vote count today
This history is why I am a chronic voter today, I told all my children to register and vote for this reason, people died for us to do so.
This is powerful.
I agree with you 100%. This is what I been saying for the past 20 years.

I will start by saying I love you Mrs. Fanny Lou Hamer. You were clearly beautiful inside and out. What you endured on our behalf is beyond comprehension. It should be that your story is told in every history lesson around the whole world. It is beyond my comprehension how any one black person could forget what you had to endure for our vote. I prayer to meet you in the free world to come. May your soul continue to sleep easy until. I will never forget.
My dad escaped from Mississippi back in the 50’s. He went through hell.
Power to OUR PEOPLE!!! No excuses..VOTE! This country was built on our ancestors backs 💯
If they are gonna have statues in Mississippi it starts with this genuine American hero.
Pure and True..
All da best righteous people..

Fannie Lou Hamer is a Role Model to me.....I respect her,,I appreciate her...Rest In Peace... Beautiful woman.... I am on the clock here in Melrose Park Illinois USA watching this video..
My favorite quote from her is “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired”. Rest In Peace!
This is all over America 2020. Nothing has changed
Excellent. Thanks for posting.
I will never understand the hate people have in their hearts. This woman truly was a sacrificial lamb just for her and others who looked like her to have the right to vote. You hear the pain in her voice. Lord bless her soul. America has a serious price to pay for the many lives invaded and taken
Yes my hero of all times. I to feel her spirit so deep in my soul its scary sometimes , what a brave and strong woman she was and always will be..🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Love you Thank you
There are no words to describe her. She was beyond amazing and any other superlatives you have.
"They are worst than a savage"
Malcolm & Martin are taught in school.But Fannie and many many others are the silent difference makers that are deeply in our community changing minds! I thank my teacher Mr. Richardson who taught me in 1992-95 in Oakland CA many of these truths and changed my life! Education is one of the most important aspects for black liberation to elevate there minds bodys and souls!
Mr. Independent Dave Dunson
Now I see why Malcolm went the other way.
Facts!
Love this women she has a beautiful and powerful testimony about what is happening in our world
The Constitution of the US doesn’t mean much for citizenships who were born in America particularly in in the Southern states.
God rest your soul Ms Hamer I truly thank you for your zeal to be treated like a humanitarian.
This stolen country can't expect nothing
CAN WE GET THIS ON PBS?
I have so much reverence for Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer. Her work and life was so important. She didn't deserve to be treated like she was. I'm thankful for her life and legacy.
I think black people really need to listen to her and how hard it was to vote. The regular democratic party wasn't open to them being included initially. There's a lesson in this.
Thanks to RUclips. If you really want to educate yourself about the People and this era, yes you can. Hearing their own voice telling the story they were living is worth more than thousand books.
A great warrior Queen, bold black and beautiful
My Goodness. The Creatures will Never Stop.
Another Prophetess❤️❤️❤️😘❤️❤️❤️
Listen and learn the history of our people that paved the way forward we can walk on today
Ms. Hamer puts you in Mississippi every time she speaks, gut-wrenching recollection of the struggle, its unimaginable pain, they experienced just trying to be recognized as human beings. Just thinkig anout that is painful!
I just found this. Very moving. This was done through democratic administration, president Johnson. Yet we blacks still want them in office. 1964 Democratic Party to 2020 DP is it better. If we had her now.
Who’s here in 2020
Lord!! My God the things that my people have been through but through it all Lord You never left us... RIP Mrs. Fannie my heart and my soul bears your pain.. Thank you Queen Fannie for doing the things you did... Forever in my heart...🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow! Have Mercy God/Creator/King
I’m in tears I have never heard of this beautiful soul, RIP.
Martyrs. God bless you. So painful to here everything they had to endure.
One of the ones that paved the way and should be celebrated and taught in schools ALL over the world. She is an underrated HERO 🥇
Who was here 2020?
This is very necessary to listen too . 🙏🙏🙏
2022, nothing has changed, it's just masked better
Sabreen Adeeba is standing on the shoulders of Fannie Lou Hamer.
Man, America has a very dark legacy, and no letting up. I mean, ain't God gonna judge this country all by itself, yes He shall.
Where is her statue located?
Amen 🙏🏿
A beautiful heroine! Speak her name❣️
Thank you for your sacrifice
They beat her . the way she say it , hurts so bad
That's My Burning Question "Does The Constitution Of The United States Mean Anything??? And To Whom, If Not Caucasian???
I Love, Respect and Pray That I Honor Miss Fannie Lou' Legacy Of Strength, Resilience and Fight
❤💕❤
Beautiful soul sister my queen may the MOSTHIGH bless your soul ❤✊
That's why that singer sang that song. What it means to be free.
That was Nina Simone. She also wrote a song called‘Mississippi Goddamm’ That must have been the most racist state in racist Amerikkka .
Salute to you Fannie Lou Hamer
Her story is very compelling and she speaks in a way that totally captivates the listener. When she talks, people listen. She doesn't seem to get the recognition she deserves.
....still here
I love you mama Fannie💛 thank you for everything you’ve done & sacrificed for our generation🥺 we got you baby!✊🏾
