Welcome!
A continuation of our online studies program, that includes a Biographical Sketch and a Timeline of Events dedicated to the late civil rights icon, this section will allow students, educators, activists, and admirers of all ages to locate and access research materials on Fannie Lou Hamer. Those items include a list of biographies written about her, her speeches and songs, her statue and tributary markers, museum exhibits, and facilities and other places named in her honor. Future additions to the page will include archival news articles, photographs, a list of her television appearances, personal documents, and much, much more! As we continue to discover additional hidden Hamer “treasures”, we will gradually add them to the Resource Center.
Organized and created by Hamer family members and historians, the purpose of this website is to share the research we have painstakingly located since 2005 with anyone interested in learning more about the propelling human rights activist.
Fannie Lou Hamer believed in education. She brought educational programs to her native Sunflower County, MS and we thought it only fitting to share the research tools we have found with others who want to learn more about her remarkable life and legacy.
