This section is especially dedicated to the late Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer. Everywhere I go in life I take this sister with me, for she is one of my first true sisters, and a part of the old wise ones. It was under her wings, we, the poor and disenfranchised of Mississippi, nestled.

Mrs. Hamer never discriminated. When she started the Freedom Farm, where she raised food for the hungry, she did not limit it to just the black community. There were also poor whites in the area that benefited from her care.

Unlike most of the prominent Civil Rights leaders of her time, there is no public monument to honor her, except, in the hearts of the ones she helped. This seems to me very unfair, because it was on her back many of our black leaders, dead and alive, road on to get where they are today.

She coined the phase, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired" and her favorite song was "This Little Light Of Mine".
