The Speeches of Fannie Lou Hamer: To Tell It Like It Is by Fannie Lou Hamer
5.0
I’ve always been aware of who Fannie Lou Hamer was. I’ve heard bits and pieces of interviews and speeches she’s given, as well as certain parts of her life. The Speeches of Fannie Lou Hamer was a gift I received this past Christmas and it was the first book I read this year.
This book made me a Fannie Lou Hamer super fan! Reading about her life and the things she endured and the things that were important to her in her own words was so inspiring. The editors also did a nice job at provided context before each speech.
My only critique is that I wanted more. However, the book specifically focused on speeches and not necessarily interviews so.
