This Little Light of Mine: The Life of Fannie Lou Hamer

by Kay Mills with a foreword by Marian Wright Edelman

The award-winning biography of black civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer.


"Riveting. Provides a history that helps us to understand the choices made by so many black men and women of Hamer's generation, who somehow found the courage to join a movement in which they risked everything."" 
                                                                      --
New York Times Book Review
"One is forced to pause and consider that this black daughter of the Old  South might have been braver than King and Malcolm."
                
                                                                       --
Washington Post  Book World
"An epic that nurtures us as we confront today's challenges and helps us Keep Hope Alive."                                            
                                                                                        
--Jesse L. Jackson

"Not only does This Little Light of Mine recount a vital part of America's history, but it lights our future as readers are inspired anew by Mrs. Hamer's spirit, courage, and  commitment." 
                                                                                  --Marian Wright Edelman

"This book is the essence of raw courage. It must be read."
                                                                                            --Rep. John Lewis
