Synopsis
Product Description
The 20th child of a Mississippi sharecropper family and a commanding voice of the Civil Rights Movement, Fannie Lou Hamer (1917?1977) stood tall against the brutality, indignities, and intimidation of implacable racism. She harnessed her mother?s gifts of song and plain-spoken wisdom to steel her fellow seekers of social justice, the cause to which she gave her life. Songs My Mother Taught Me, a re-release of limited-edition 1963 field recordings, breathes new life into Fannie Lou Hamer?s inspiring legacy and her uncompromising call for a righteous world. 47 minutes, 32-page booklet with photos.
