Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom School

The Fannie Lou community gathered in a Zoom meeting to continue our celebration of the amazing class of 2020. We laughed and cried at the wonderful memories we've made during the past four years and we imagined how the strength of this class may be used to forge a better future for our society.

Even though we were not allowed to have a traditional graduation ceremony this year, there was no way to keep staff from celebrating the accomplishments of the class of 2020. So, in addition to a virtual graduation ceremony, staff spent 2 days delivering diplomas to graduating seniors and cheering them on with their neighbors.

" I am sick of tired of being sick and tired" - Fannie Lou Hamer The horrific murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, and Ahmaud Arbery the last few weeks and the countless other senseless murders throughout the years of African Americans and Latinos at the hands of the police have been outrageous acts of injustice and a continued threat to equity and equality.  Unfortunately, we all feel the same as the namesake of our school, we are ALL sick and tired of being sick and tired.
