Poor People's Campaign: Moral Monday: Memphis

Details

"Through Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and beyond, history has consistently taught us that the poorest and most marginalized communities have a profound ability to create change – even when the future seems the bleakest. Today is no different. Yes, lawmakers have succeeded in codifying one of the most morally-bankrupt pieces of legislation in our history. But in doing so, they’ve laid the groundwork for a movement that is truly by and for poor and working class people. If we mobilize just a fraction of these people, we can transform our nation’s entire landscape."

Bishop Barber and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove write about Fannie Lou Hamer and her fierce persistence in the fight for voting rights. They share the story as a source of inspiration—and invite all to a new Freedom Summer.
