Title: Walk with Me: A Biography of Fannie Lou Hamer

Author: Kate Clifford Larson

Narrator: Karen Chilton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:37:57

Language: English

Release date: 01-18-22

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Law & Politics, History & Culture, Women

Summary:

She was born the 20th child in a family that had lived in the Mississippi Delta for generations, first as enslaved people and then as sharecroppers. She left school at 12 to pick cotton, as those before her had done, in a world in which white supremacy was an unassailable citadel. She was subjected without her consent to an operation that deprived her of children. And she was denied the most basic of all rights in Americathe right to cast a ballotin a state in which Blacks constituted nearly half the population.

And so Fannie Lou Hamer lifted up her voice. Starting in the early 1960s and until her death in 1977, she was an irresistible force, not merely joining the swelling wave of change brought by civil rights but keeping it in motion. Working with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which recruited her to help with voter-registration drives, Hamer became a community organizer, women's rights activist, and co-founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. She summoned and used what she had against the citadelher anger, her courage, her faith in the Bible, and her conviction that hearts could be won over and injustice overcome. She used her brutal beating at the hands of Mississippi police, an ordeal from which she never fully recovered, as the basis of a televised speech at the 1964 Democratic Convention, a speech that the mainstream partyincluding its standard-bearer, President Lyndon Johnsontried to contain. But Fannie Lou Hamer would not be held back. For those whose lives she touched and transformed, for those who heard and followed her voice, she was the embodiment of protest, perseverance, and, most of all, the potential for revolutionary change.

Kate Clifford Larson's biography of Fannie Lou Hamer is the most complete ever written, drawing on recently declassified sources on both Hamer and the civil rights movement, including unredacted FBI and Department of Justice files. It also makes full use of interviews with Civil Rights activists conducted by the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress, and Democratic National Committee archives, in addition to extensive conversations with Hamer's family and with those with whom she worked most closely. Stirring, immersive, and authoritative, Walk with Me does justice to Fannie Lou Hamer's life, capturing in full the spirit, and the voice, that led the fight for freedom and equality in America at its critical moment.

'This biography of Fannie Lou Hamer, the civil-rights advocate who challenged Mississippi segregationists with her powerful oratory and 'unforgettable' singing, places grassroots organizing by women at the heart of the battle for Black enfranchisement.'The New Yorker

Title: America's Original Sin: White Supremacy, John Wilkes Booth, and the Lincoln Assassination

Author: John Rhodehamel

Narrator: Donald Corren

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:32:02

Language: English

Release date: 01-18-22

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: History, Politics, World, North America, Political Advocacy

Summary:

On April 14, 1865, after nearly a year of conspiring, John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln as the president watched a production of Our American Cousin at Fords Theatre. Lincoln died the next morning. Twelve days later, Booth himself was fatally shot by a Union

soldier after an extensive manhunt. The basic outline of this story is well known even to schoolchildren; what has been obscured is Booths motivation for the act, which remains widely misunderstood nearly 160 years after the shot from his pocket pistol echoed

through the crowded theater.

In this riveting new book, John Rhodehamel argues that Booths primary motivation for his heinous crime was a growing commitment to white supremacy. In alternating chapters, Americas Original Sin shows how, as Lincolns commitment to emancipation grew, so too

did Booths rage and hatred for Lincoln, whom he referred to as King Abraham Africanus the First. Examining Booths early life in Maryland, Rhodehamel traces the evolution of his racial hatred from his youthful embrace of white supremacy to his final act of murder.

Along the way, Rhodehamel considers and discards other potential motivations for Booths act, such as mental illness or persistent drunkenness, which are all, he writes, either insufficient to explain Booths actions or were excuses made after the fact by those who sympathized with him.

Focusing on how white supremacy brought about the Civil War and, later, betrayed the conflicts emancipationist legacy, Rhodehamels masterful narrative makes this old story seem new again. The first book to explicitly name white supremacy as the motivation for

Lincolns assassination, Americas Original Sin is an important and eloquent look at one of the most notorious episodes in American history.
