Deep Roots, Strong Women: Black excellence milestone – honoring the legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer
October is a month where we pause to celebrate Black Excellence–a time to reflect on the achievements, sacrifices, and milestones of Black Americans whose lives have paved the way for justice and freedom. The Shades of Motherhood Network would like to celebrate an icon, Fannie Lou Hamer, a grassroots civil rights activist, voting rights champion, and fierce advocate for women’s reproductive justice. Her story is one of courage, resilience, and unwavering devotion to freedom for all.
