HOW LBJ TRIED TO CENSOR CIVIL RIGHTS HEROINE

Today we remember Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil-rights leader and community organiser who passed away on March 14th, 1977.

During the 1960s, Black Southerners came together to organise and resist White-supremacy and systemic violence against African-Americans. Hamer was one of the founders, and the vice-chairperson, of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, a political force created to challenge the racist mainstream Mississippi Democratic Party.

In 1964, in a bid to change things, she gave powerful testimony testimony to the Democratic National Convention, explaining her hardships - and why the Mississippi Dems needed to reform.

This was televised - or it was supposed to be, until she was cut off air by an ‘urgent’ TV press conference that had been convened by President Lyndon B. Johnson. This turned out to be a complete damp squib - Johnson merely reminded reporters that it had been nine months since Kennedy’s assassination! That gave the game away: LBJ simply hadn’t wanted Hamer’s words to reach the wider nation.

Echoes of Change: Learning from the Front Lines of Social Movements

The case "Fair & Lovely Vs. Dark Is Beautiful" took me back to a pivotal chapter in my life—a period of profound learning and awakening. The themes resonated deeply with my own experiences with Professor Marshall Ganz in HKS, whose teachings on organizing and social movements have been nothing short of transformative for me.

During my time with Professor Ganz, I learned about the power of collective action and the intricate art of community organizing. His approach isn't just about rallying people—it's about weaving individual stories and struggles into a powerful narrative that demands change. This lesson was not just theoretical; it was vividly illustrated in the life of an African American man I met, who had been unjustly incarcerated during his teenage years. His story is a stark testament to the systemic injustices that plague our society.

Frustrated by the relentless social stigma and the barriers he faced, he channeled his energies into creating an organization dedicated to advocating for the African American community. His work aims to dismantle the stereotypes and prejudices that underpin racial discrimination, striving to uplift those who suffer silently.

This interaction was a stark reminder of the harsh realities many face and how easily I could have been in his place under different circumstances. It instilled in me a responsibility to use my voice and resources to fight for equity and justice. Inspired by his resilience and Professor Ganz’s teachings, I’ve learned that leadership is about more than guidance—it’s about advocacy and action.

As I reflect on these experiences, I am reminded of the importance of awareness and passion in driving social change. It’s not enough to be aware; we must be willing to act, to educate others, and to stand firm in the face of adversity. We all have roles to play in shaping a more just society, and I am committed to doing my part.

Let us draw inspiration from those who have turned their struggles into a call to action and continue to push for meaningful change in every community. Together, we can challenge the status quo and create a world that reflects the values of justice, equality, and compassion.

Bless. His. Heart. Thank you @mikewolfeamericanpicker for your dedication, unfailing energy and enthusiasm invested in #Columbiatn and #MauryCounty. We appreciate you and are so happy you are here. I enjoyed Mike's event #carsandcoffee this morning at #MotorAlley and met up with Eric Previti, President of the Maury County Historical Society, to promote the pre-sale of the "Historic Maury" specialty car tags. What an honor to have been asked to design them!! If you live in #Tennessee, you can go to historicmaury.com to reserve your own tag. PM me if you need more information. Proceeds from the sale are reinvested into the county’s history-related projects. #specialtytag #historicmaurycounty #historicarchitecture #illustration #historynerd #communityorganizer #twolanes #mchs #maurycountyhistoricalsociety (at Columbia, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgFC5-1O9kY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At the end of the day I can look at myself in the mirror and “Good job!” Time for an evening of rest after a full day of community connections at Earth Day Volunteer Day. I helped organize this collaboration with the Hector Sustainability Committee and the Valois, Logan, Hector Volunteer Fire Company and couldn’t be more proud of and honored to work with the crew of folks who made it all happen and especially the folks who came down to enjoy and experience all we had to share! It wa s a big day with a lot of planning behind it and I really wanted to show up for my community. I also wanted to show up in style and be presentable as I was in fact “presenting” folks as the emcee of our Speaker Series. I had this handy dandy mini pocket mirror with me and honestly never pulled it out to check myself 🤣 I don’t think there were any fashion faux pas or wardrobe malfunctions but it’s nice to be prepared! 🪞 👍🏼 👯‍♂️ . . . #minimirror #bigday #goodjob #patontheback #selfconfidence #pocketmirror #selfrespect #earthdayvolunteerday #eventplanner #communityorganizer #feminineleadership #leader https://www.instagram.com/p/CctgZXfJjQQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
