Summary Voice of Freedom: Fannie Lou Hamer is a picture book told entirely in poems. Each poem details a certain part of Fannie Lou Hamer’s life and her mission for racial equality during the Civil Rights Movement.

What is quite unique about this particular story, is that it tells the story of the Civil Rights Movement from the perspective of this woman, who was very…

The minorities as well as black people were so oppressed, even several generations after, the wounds are still active in their hearts. They are victims of discrimination which means according to Henslin “Unfair treatment…

The relationship between the majority and minority in America has been a shaky, rocky road. Whites and all the other races have had quite an interesting relationship, with lots of ups and downs. The history reveals many nasty, shady events that can be placed on both sides. Because of such an unsteady past, much of the concern today can be seen through protests, marches, and riots across the country today.
