Our third reading in the "Arguments of Courage" course-pack is the testimony given by Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Our work in class will be to closely analyze the literal elements of Ms. Hamer's testimony, discuss inferences about the "real story" of her testimony, and draw conclusions about what Ms. Hamer's testimony means to us today.
You can view archival footage of a portion of her testimony using this link.
This is a link to the full audio of Ms. Hamer's testimony.
