to seek the nomination for
president of the United States
from one of the two major
political parties (1972). Her

Born Fannie Lou Townsend on
October 6, 1917, in Montgomery
County, Mississippi. The
daughter of sharecroppers, Hamer
began working the fields at an
early age. Her family struggled
financially, and often went
hungry.
Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977) was a civil rights activist whose passionate depiction of her own suffering in a racist society helped focus attention on the plight of African Americans throughout the South. In 1964, working with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Hamer helped organize the 1964 Freedom Summer African American voter registration drive in her native Mississippi. At the Democratic National Convention later that year, she was part of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, an integrated group of activists who openly challenged the legality of Mississippi’s all-white, segregated delegation.

Madam C.J. Walker (born Sarah
Breedlove; December 23, 1867 –
May 25, 1919) was an African
American entrepreneur,
philanthropist, and political
and social activist. She is
recorded as the first female
self-made millionaire in America
in the Guinness Book of World
Records.[1] Multiple sources
mention that although other
women (like Mary Ellen Pleasant)
might have been the first, their
wealth is not as
well-documented.

Rosa Parks, née Rosa Louise
McCauley, (born February 4,
1913, Tuskegee, Alabama,
U.S.—died October 24, 2005,
Detroit, Michigan), American
civil rights activist whose
refusal to relinquish her seat
on a public bus precipitated the
1955–56 Montgomery bus boycott
in Alabama, which became the
spark that ignited the civil
rights movement in the United
States.
