History
Kay Mills' “This Little Light of Mine: The Life of Fannie Lou Hamer” essay Fannie Lou Hamer was born in Mississippi, in a black sharecroppers' family. She was not really educated, like most of the Afro-Americans in Mississippi back in the pre-Depression times. She has always known what poverty is; she has always known that the life without rights is not a “life” in its complete meaning. Like no other person she knew that black people have the same rights along with other people and there is now reason for them to stay in poverty and ignorance.
