Fannie Lou Hamer,
née Townsend
b. 10-6-1917; Sunflower Co., MS
d. 3-14-1977; Mound Bayou, MS

Fannie Lou Hamer was a plain-spoken activist remembered and loved for her use of Bible verses and hymns to demand civil rights.


Fannie Lou Hamer quotes ~
• “Nobody's free until everybody's free.”
• “I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
• “One night I went to the church. They had a mass meeting. And I went to the church, and they talked about how it was our right, that we could register and vote. They were talking about we could vote out people that we didn't want in office, we thought that wasn't right, that we could vote them out. That sounded interesting enough to me that I wanted to try it. I had never heard, until 1962, that black people could register and vote.”
• “When they asked for those to raise their hands who'd go down to the courthouse the next day, I raised mine. Had it high up as I could get it. I guess if I'd had any sense I'd've been a little scared, but what was the point of being scared? The only thing they could do to me was kill me and it seemed like they'd been trying to do that a little bit at a time ever since I could remember.”

Dorothy Irene Height

Social activist Dorothy Height, a 2004 recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal, initiated food, child care, housing, and career educational programs. In 1986 she began the Black Family Reunion Celebration to emphasize the positive aspects of the African-American family.

Dorothy Height quote ~
• “We've got to work to save our children and do it with full respect for the fact that if we do not, no one else is going to do it.”
• “No one will do for you what you need to do for yourself. We cannot afford to be separate. . . . We have to see that all of us are in the same boat.”
• “Without community service, we would not have a strong quality of life. It's important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. It's the way in which we ourselves grow and develop.”
