Many reasons, here's one. During a time in America when black people were beingtreated very badly, she made a televised speech questioning America about things many others also wanted to know, but were scared to ask. She was fearless, she asked the hard questions, and there changes made regarding voter's rights because of her.
Fannie Lou Hamer is really famous because she fought for African Americans to have the right to vote
Fannie had adopted kids
with a gun
she sucedded in her freedom of speech and to vote
Fannie Lou Hamer spoke for the project in 1964, it was led by Robert Parris Moses. (Sweet Jesus I had to change that answer someone put that Fannie Lou Hamer led the project x_x)
She would fart everyday for slavery even if it wasn't her choice. She would still fart! Huge farts. She actually fought for African-Americans to have the right to vote. She still farts in her grave. The dead people around her grave have to smell the gas. Pee You. I hate you Fannie Lou Hamer
