This book explores the life of one of Mississippis greatest civil rights activists, Fannie Lou Hamer. Known for her daring, her brinkmanship and her impassioned speechmaking, Hamer rose to prominence in the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, an intrepid group which tried to unseat the predominantly white Democrats of Mississippi during the 1964 Democratic National Convention. She is particularly remembered for her speech before the Credentials Committee, seeking to end allwhite representation of her home state. Hamer fought her entire life to expand freedom and basic rights to African Americans in the United States.
