Quotes by Charles Marsh (?)

“She said to Humphrey, “Do you mean to tell me that your position is more important to you than four hundred thousand black people’s lives?”126 For Mrs. Hamer, this was about the ascendancy of truth over politics; divine justice over liberal shrewdness. This was about “the beginning of a New Kingdom right here on earth,” about curing “America’s sickness”—and not with another remedy from the prevailing ethos of utility and power but with an injection of new vision and energy; not with a view toward political expediency”

“The thinking he brought to the task was simple at its heart, and yet severe in its demands. If a person calls himself a Christian, he must give up everything and follow Christ. In Mississippi in 1963 and 1964, “everything” meant, first and foremost, giving up the practices of white supremacy; but it also meant giving up class privilege, educational pretension, anything that kept one from opening up and going the whole way. The Christian life must be lived for others.”

“Few of them knew who she was…. But here was clearly someone with force enough for all of them, who knew the meaning of ‘Oh Freedom’ and ‘We Shall Not Be Moved’ in her flesh and spirit as they never would. They lost their shyness and began to sing the choruses with abandon, though their voices all together dimmed beside hers.”95 Although a well-known cast of speakers had been organized for the week, and the daily schedule offered a full slate of lectures and workshops, it was Fannie Lou Hamer whose indomitable presence was everywhere felt by those in attendance and who brought the purpose to focus.”
