Abstract
This discussion activity introduces students to the voting and civil rights leader, Fannie Lou Hamer. They will read three texts that describe her life, locate her as a meaningful contributor to what we know as the Civil Rights Movement, and engage with her 1964 Democratic National Convention testimony. These texts inform students’ subsequent listening to Hamer’s testimony and watching of the full film, Fannie Lou Hamer’s America—both of which facilitate an in-class discussion.
