About Fannie Lou Hamer Library
Welcome to the Fannie Lou Hamer Library! Step into a space where history, learning, and community come together!

From founding cooperative farms to running for Congress and championing education through Freedom Schools, her vision for a more inclusive America continues to inspire.

At the Fannie Lou Hamer Library, we are committed to keeping that light glowing.
