I have to admit that as a guy who grew up in the 60's in Mississippi, I never heard of Fanny Lou Hamer. In fact, I never heard of her until until a year ago. Thank you for shedding light through your writing on this remarkable woman-and true American hero!

Someone please rescue Tim Scott from the sunken place... indeed a teacup moment! And if you know, you know...
Thank you profoundly for this piece. Fannie Lou Hamer is a national shero. Black women have been saving our collective asses for centuries.
This needed to be said and recorded for future generations to find, otherwise history will keep being rewritten with falsehoods.
I live in South Carolina. Tim Scott consistently chooses to uphold white supremacy and I hate it.
