#art #history: 'they [plantation owners] set me free. now i can work for my people.'
hands up, fans of fannie lou hamer (who died far too soon - at the age of 59 - #otd in 1977)!
i've got a lot to say about her, which i'll thread below. if you're not familiar with her, settle in. she was a pistol.

Today's post about #FannieLouHamer by @seanalan brings to mind this incredible song, so I thought I'd share this to honor her, all of our marginalized sisters, and those who follow in her footsteps, doing the hard work - everyday.
Based on Maya Angelou's poem, this is the beautiful, amazing and phenomenal #RuthieFoster belting it out with feeling, live at Antone's in Austin.
