Product Information
National Book Critics Circle 2021 Biography Finalist 53rd NAACP Image Award Nominee-Outstanding Literary Work - Biography/Autobiography " A riveting and timely exploration of Hamer's life. . . . Brilliantly constructed to be both forward and backward looking, Blain's book functions simultaneously as a much needed history lesson and an indispensable guide for modern activists."- New York Times Book Review Ms. Magazine "Most Anticipated Reads for the Rest of Us - 2021" KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW BOOKLIST STARRED REVIEW Publishers Weekly Big Indie Books of Fall 2021 Explores the Black activist's ideas and political strategies, highlighting their relevance for tackling modern social issues including voter suppression, police violence, and economic inequality. "We have a long fight and this fight is not mine alone, but you are not free whether you are white or black, until I am free." -Fannie Lou Hamer A blend of social commentary, biography, and intellectual history, Until I Am Free is a manifesto for anyone committed to social justice. The book challenges us to listen to a working-poor and disabled Black woman activist and intellectual of the civil rights movement as we grapple with contemporary concerns around race, inequality, and social justice. Award-winning historian and New York Times best-selling author Keisha N. Blain situates Fannie Lou Hamer as a key political thinker alongside leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks and demonstrates how her ideas remain salient for a new generation of activists committed to dismantling systems of oppression in the United States and across the globe. Despite her limited material resources and the myriad challenges she endured as a Black woman living in poverty in Mississippi, Hamer committed herself to making a difference in the lives of others. She refused to be sidelined in the movement and refused to be intimidated by those of higher social status and with better jobs and education. In these pages, Hamer's words and ideas take center stage, allowing us all to hear the activist's voice and deeply engage her words, as though we had the privilege to sit right beside her. More than 40 years since Hamer's death in 1977, her words still speak truth to power, laying bare the faults in American society and offering valuable insights on how we might yet continue the fight to help the nation live up to its core ideals of "equality and justice for all." Includes a photo insert featuring Hamer at civil rights marches, participating in the Democratic National Convention, testifying before Congress, and more.

"Dr. Keisha Blain's beautiful prose and infectious passion for uncovering our historical roots tells Hamer's amazing life story. If America truly respected its own roots, they would see a 'Fannie Lou Hamer' defending the US Constitution to include 'We the People.' Dr. Blain unveils Hamer's leadership in this historical documentation, once again demonstrating that when Black women sit down and demand a seat on the bus or simply get let into the room, we spend the next generation demanding a seat at the table. Until I Am Free allows the reader to see a long part of the political and cultural lines from Fannie Lou Hamer to Vice President Kamala Harris." --Donna Brazile, former chair of the Democratic National Committee

The item took 22 days to arrive. I am not pleased with the packaging. The cd was sent wrapped in the cover art and track list information papers. The track list and art are bent and covered in tape, mailing address info and stamps. You should have at least wrapped it in paper. The disc is covered in scratches. The description said "Disc is in Like New condition" Luckily it was only a few dollars.

We have NO control over what USPS does. As for the packaging, the artwork was included FOR FREE. It's nonsensical to complain about something that you got for nothing; that's highly irrational behaviour. Most people in fact prefer the artwork, over plain paper. You are BANNED from all our listings, my friend!

Your response is ridiculous, I am never planning on dealing with you again. Thank you for banning me so that I don't accidentally see something you have to offer and consider purchasing it. Your listing says that there is free 2 to 4 day shipping. The listing also said that the cd was in like new condition which it was not. It also says you are from New York while the cd came from Michigan. I wish I had looked at the other feedback before purchasing from you. You will not waste my time again.
