- Summary:
- In Ruleville, Mississippi in 1961, summers were scorching, cotton was still king, and African Americans were shackled to white intimidation, poverty and cruel injustice. Fannie Lou Hamer, a middle aged sharecropper living on a sprawling plantation, had known no other way. But that all changed when anger, fate and an invitation to a voting registration meeting redirected the course of her destiny.
