Fannie Lou Hamer was born today. She was fired as a sharecropper for registering Black folks to vote. She started coops and political parties. She had a limp & blood clot behind her eye from being beaten by police in a Mississippi jail. Fannie was a freedom fighter.

Any Canadian serving in the IDF must be fully investigated for any role in crimes against humanity before being allowed back into Canada.
