About
Most of us have never heard of Fannie Lou Hamer, Annie Devine, Unita Blackwell, Mae Bertha Carter, or Victoria Gray Adams. But without their commitment, bravery and leadership, the Civil Rights movement in 1960’s Mississippi would not have been possible. In the name of freedom and equal rights, these women faced great adversity, risking their safety, their jobs, and even their lives. When asked how they did it, one activist said, “I was standing on my sisters’ shoulders.”
