Daring, risk- taking and life threatened at every turn, the life of Civil Rights Activitist Fannie Lou

Hamer is once again well written by Earnest N Bracey. Fannie beat so viciously by the police, that

she endured complications of life long physical suffering until her final resting place, where her

grave marker reads, "Sick and tired of Being Sick and tired." This "shero" is a must read for all. Be

inspired by one woman's bravery to make a difference in the politics of the United States of

America.
