Requests:  0 Summary:  "Award-winning historian and New York Times best-selling author Keisha N. Blain situates Fannie Lou Hamer as a key political thinker alongside leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks and demonstrates how her ideas remain salient for a new generation of activists committed to dismantling systems of oppression in the United States and across the globe. Despite her limited material resources and the myriad challenges she endured as a Black woman living in poverty in Mississippi, Hamer committed herself to making a difference in the lives of others. She refused to be sidelined in the movement and refused to be intimidated by those of higher social status and with better jobs and education. In these pages, Hamer's words and ideas take center stage, allowing us all to hear the activist's voice and deeply engage her words, as though we had the privilege to sit right beside her. More than 40 years since Hamer's death in 1977, her words still speak truth to power, laying bare the faults in American society and offering valuable insights on how we might yet continue the fight to help the nation live up to its core ideals of "equality and justice for all."" --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 323.092 Hamer Bl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.092 Hamer Bl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.092 Bl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.092 Hamer Bl Checked out 05/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.092 Hamer Bl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
