More From Fannie Lou Hamer

[my father] did get enough money to buy mules. we didn't have tractors, but he bought mules, wagons, cultivators and some farming equipment. as soon as he bought that and decided to rent some land, because it was always better if you rent the land, but as soon as he got the mules and wagons and everything, somebody went to our trough - a white man who didn't live very far from us - and he fed the mules paris green, put it in their food and it killed the mules and our cows.

It is not a shame to be knocked down by other people. the important thing is to ask when you're being knocked down, 'why am i being knocked down?' if a person can reflect in this way, then there is hope for this person.

And in a world where we have too many choices and too little time, the obvious thing to do is just ignore stuff. and my parable here is, you're driving down the road and you see a cow, and you keep driving 'cause you've seen cows before. cows are invisible. cows are boring. who's going to stop and pull over and say, oh, look, a cow? nobody.

Tough times don't last, but tough people do. and i've been through some tough times, and i know a lot of people can recall tough times, and maybe are going through some tough times right now, but they don't last.

You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.
Memories Eye Passion
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.

Good art means the ability of any one man to pin down in some permanent and intelligible medium a sort of idea of what he sees in nature that nobody else sees. in other words, to make the other fellow grasp, through skilled selective care in interpretative reproduction or symbolism, some inkling of what only the artist himself could possibly see in the actual objective scene itself.
