OTD 1962, Fannie Lou Hamer led 17 volunteers to register to vote in Indianola, Mississippi. They were blocked by way of a discriminatory literacy test, harassed on their way home, stopped by police and fined. That night, Hamer lost her job for daring to register to use her voice.pic.twitter.com/Pik1PNSLoD

Thanks for this
Inspiring, so brave
She is one of my heroes. She was so powerful that LBJ had to hold a fake press conference to try to silence her powerful testimony to the Congress and the American public; however, it didn’t work.
Courage
She had more bravery and courage than is contained in the entire GOP!
Brave, brave people. In my lifetime. I never knew such discrimination happened in my lifetime. #TrumpRiots #TrumpTerrorism
