Ms. Hamer's Life

"All my life I’ve been sick and tired. Now I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired."
"All my life I’ve been sick and tired. Now I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired."

Ms. Hamer's Work

"They take me from my husband and they take my home from me. But still, at the next election, I will be there, voting just as much as white folks vote."

Ms. Hamer's Philosophy
"Sometimes it feel like to tell the truth today is to run the risk of being killed. But if I fall, I'll fall five feet four inches forward in the fight for freedom. I'm not backing off."
