I wasn’t family with Fannie Lou Hammer before reading this book but I’m so glad I did. This historic text covers the life and trails of a trail blazing southern activist. What I love most about this text is that it doesn’t overlook the loss or pain of this strong black women but goes to show that she is strong even in her pain.

This is a historic text so expect names and figures but the life of Mrs. Hamer is so exceptional that it’s worth it! An exceptional biography, would recommend!
