History has too often overlooked the extraordinary contributions of African American women whose courage helped reshape our nation. This Sunday, professional storyteller Zelda Foxall brings the story of civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer to life through a powerful in-character portrayal.
Born into poverty as a Mississippi sharecropper, Hamer became one of the most influential voices of the Civil Rights Movement. Her determination to exercise the simple right to vote transformed her life and helped transform the nation. Through courage, conviction, song, and an unwavering commitment to justice, she inspired others to stand against racism, violence, and voter suppression.
Drawing on meticulous historical research, Zelda Foxall will take us into Hamer’s remarkable journey—from her attempt to register to vote in 1962 to her electrifying testimony before the Credentials Committee at the 1964 Democratic National Convention.
Join us as we encounter Fannie Lou Hamer’s story and reflect on the power of ordinary people to find their voices, stand for justice, and create extraordinary change
