Fannie Lou Hamer was a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. She was born in 1917 in Mississippi and became involved in activism in the 1960s, particularly in voter registration efforts. Hamer co-founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and famously spoke at the 1964 Democratic National Convention, where she passionately advocated for the party to recognize and include African American voices. She dedicated her life to fighting for civil rights and social justice until her death in 1977.
