My NHD person

I choose Fannie Lou Hamer for my NHD project because I am inspired by the passion and the goals she had in her time. She is an African American woman who was a civil rights activist. I am interested in the historical problem she promoted which was, the civil rights movement between 1955-1965. Her goal as an civil rights activist, was to strive for the privilege for women of color to be able to vote. If Fannie Lou Hamer hadn't existed, women of all race and ethnic groups wouldn't be able to have the right to vote, most importantly speak they're mind. I'm a person who won't back down unless my opinions are heard. I admire and look up to Fannie Lou Hamer for having the courage and ability to stand up for what she believed in, and speak for those who were unable to do for them selves.
