“I was born 1917, in Montgomery County, October 6th.”
- Fannie Lou Hamer

In 2017, organizations across the globe made a special effort to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Fannie Lou Hamer’s birth. These celebrations stemmed from gratitude, appreciation and utter respect for a woman who gave so much and died too soon. Members of the Fannie Lou Hamer’s America Team, director and editor Joy Davenport and our lead consultant, researcher and curriculum designer, Dr. Maegan Parker Brooks, were privileged and honored to be invited to and speak at several of those events.
