Fannie Lou Hamer was a civil rights activist and a delegate from Mississippi who became a powerful voice against racial discrimination in the 1960s. She famously recounted her experiences of systemic oppression and violence faced by African Americans in the South, particularly during her testimony at the Democratic National Convention in 1964. Hamer's passionate storytelling highlighted the struggles for voting rights and equality, making her a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement.

During the summer of 1964, thousands of activists in the Civil Rights Movement, many of them white college students from the North, descended on Mississippi and other Southern states to try to end the long-time political disfranchisement of African Americans in the region. Although black men won the right to vote in 1870, thanks to the 15th Amendment, for the next 100 years many were unable to exercise that right. It was called 'freedom summer'.
Freedom Summer was in 1964. It was a voter registration drive aimed at increasing the number of African Americans in Mississippi who were registered to vote.
