Compare and contrast the accounts of Fannie Lou Hamer and Anne Moody, What do they have in common? How do they differ
What do the similarities of their accounts suggest?

Explanation:

To break such a large topic down to a thesis length argument, this project focuses

on five women who particularly affected the Mississippi agitation for voting equality:

Clarie Collins Harvey, Fannie Lou Hamer, Victoria Jackson Gray Adams, Unita

Blackwell, and Casey Hayden. Featuring these particular women is not intended to

insinuate in any way that they are more important than women not featured; far too many

women played significant and heroic roles in the Mississippi struggle to feature all of

them. Rather, the hope of this research is to illuminate five particular heroines.

Clarie Collins Harvey founded Womanpower Unlimited to assist jailed Freedom

Riders and quickly built a full-fledged Civil Rights organization from it. Fannie Lou

Hamer grew up on a cotton plantation in the Mississippi Delta; a viciously cruel

environment which sculpted her into a brazen and forceful campaigner against the

atrocities of Jim Crow economics. Victoria Jackson Gray Adams organized many

meetings and rallies in the extremely dangerous Hattiesburg area and taught African

Americans the essential reading and citizenship knowledge needed to pass registration

tests. Unita Blackwell rose from political novice to helping organize the Mississippi

Freedom Democrat Party. Casey Hayden was a founding member of the Student

Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) who brought her fierce anti-segregation

beliefs and organizational talents to the Mississippi movement from east Texas via

Atlanta.

Though these women may have engaged in different activities, the common

thread throughout all of their activism was concentration on grassroots-level organization
