Experience an outdoor performance of the one-woman show, Fannie Lou Hamer, Speak On It! Part battle cry, part spiritual, this is a timely and poignant play that brings to life civil rights activist Fannie Lou as she leads a rally to fight for voting and racial equality. Her call to action was one that resonated with Americans in the sixties and is equally powerful today.
