These are pictures taken the day after the Fannie Lou Hamer the 100th Birthday Celebration at William Chapel Missionary Baptist Church where Mrs. Hamer political journey started.

Since Mrs. Hamer was interested in the right to vote and human rights, it seem political correct to have a program that focused on voting. This program was sponsored by the Sunflower County Democratic Executive Committee, of which Mr. David Rushing is president.

Mr. Charles McLaurin was the gust speaker, and The Young Steppers of Indianola performed which was excellent.

The program interesting and informative.
