ArtsEmerson’s Shared Stories Presents In Person Screening: Fannie Lou Hamer’s Am
With those words at the 1964 Democratic Convention, Fannie Lou Hamer changed the course of Civil Rights forever.
Her efforts would mobilize thousands of Black people to register to vote and inspire her historical run for Senate.
Fannie Lou Hamer’s America explores and celebrates the lesser-known life of a Mississippi sharecropper-turned-human-rights-activist and one of the Civil Rights Movement’s greatest leaders.
Through the layering of audio recordings and archival video footage of her powerful speeches, soul-stirring songs and impassioned pleas for equal rights, Fannie Lou Hamer tells her extraordinary story in her own words.
