#OtD 9 Jun 1963 civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer was arrested in Mississippi on trumped up charges and brutally beaten in jail on the orders of police. She had previously been sterilised without consent, as were many other Black women https://t.co/VokUcsMmCu https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10916/fannie-lou-hamer-arrested?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@workingclasshistory This is heartbreaking and infuriating. Fannie Lou Hamer's story exposes the horrific reality of racial oppression in America's past. Her courage in the face of such brutality is inspiring. https://wordleunlimitedgame.io/home
