#OTD in 1964, civil rights activist and leader Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer testified at the Democratic National Committee in Atlantic City, New Jersey, about the discrimination and violence that Black people faced when attempting to register to vote in the South, particularly in Mississippi. This year (2024) marks 60 years since her nationally televised testimony, which rallied support for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and highlighted the need to eliminate voting barriers for Black people. We encourage everyone to draw inspiration from her testimony, life, and legacy by engaging in social justice efforts and advocating for positive social change.
