NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO FANNIE LOU HAMER.
In 1963, Fannie Lou Hamer was arrested in Winona, Mississippi, after helping Black Americans register to vote. While in custody, she was brutally beaten by police and other prisoners under their direction. The injuries left her with lasting physical damage.
Her crime? Demanding a right that America claimed its citizens already had.
Hamer was a sharecropper who understood that the right to vote was about far more than casting a ballot. It was about having a voice in a country that had spent generations trying to keep Black people powerless.
They threatened her. They attacked her. They tried to make an example of her.
But she refused to be silent.
She went on to challenge the political system that excluded Black Americans, speaking before the nation at the 1964 Democratic National Convention and exposing the violence and discrimination Black voters faced in Mississippi.
Fannie Lou Hamer's story is a reminder that many of the rights people take for granted today were secured by people who paid an extraordinary price to demand them.
They wanted her to be afraid. Instead, she made America listen. History must never forget her name.
To keep these stories alive, we have uncovered and documented crimes against Black people that have remained unanswered.

Never forget what white folks did to his body. He was beheaded, dissected, and skinned. They cut off body parts to keep and made a purse of his skin. His skull was passed down thru generations for 180yrs before it was returned to his descendants.
Never let them call us animals.
Wrap this Savannah James shit uppppppp! The kids can’t read. Strait of Hormuz will probably never reopen. Truckers can’t afford gas. There’s a billionaire trying to be the Governor of Georgia. They’re trying to steal a mid-term election and lastly… THE KIDS CANT READ.
FUN FACT: Tyler Perry paid for Nolan's funeral. Colin Kaepernick paid for the independent autopsy for Nolan's family. LeBron paid for the forensics of the cellphones involved in the case. I love seeing people helping others, but the fact we have to pay for justice is sickening.
We were warned. The airlines literally told us higher fuel costs were going to mean higher fares. I hope everyone who voted for that orange whale is enjoying this.

We will not be lectured by a generation who watched videos of kids playing the games they wanted to play or by the generation who watch live streams of people living the lives they want to live daily…
absolute blasphemy
