In 1962, Fannie Lou Hamer was one of 18 African Americans who traveled 26 miles to the courthouse in Indianola, Mississippi to register to vote.
While the 19th Amendment granted white American women the right to vote, it did not remove racist Jim Crow laws that obstructed African American civil rights. The group was told they would need to take a literacy test.
Hamer went on to help found the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and gained national attention for her televised testimony before a committee of the 1964 Democratic National Convention, when she described the circumstances African Americans were continuing to face at the polls. Her speech galvanized support for the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
