#StoriesThatMove: They called it the “Mississippi Appendectomy.” But it wasn’t surgery—it was violence. From the 1920s to the 1980s, poor Black women in the South were forcibly sterilized without consent. Fannie Lou Hamer was given a hysterectomy without her knowledge or consent. This was not a medical mistake. It was a system designed to control and erase. Know the name. Know the truth. ✊🏾 Source: joelbervell #FannieLouHamer #Storytelling #UntoldStories #CivilRights #MarchOn
