5th Edition of Epiphany Newsletter- The following is a clip from the newsletter. Links to articles, videos, and sounds linked in the original newsletter. Click link in bio, then FPC News button.

When Dan spoke to our Epiphany team about Fannie Lou Hamer, (1917-1977) I realized I knew nothing about her. I learned that she was a woman of tremendous courage and faith, and her trust in God was undaunted. If ever there were a person who believed that God is with us, it was Mrs. Hamer. She endured countless humiliations, appalling violence to her person while unjustly imprisoned, and years of poverty and grueling labor.

Despite these hardships, Fannie Lou Hamer found the courage to become a champion of voting rights for all Black people. She and Dr. Martin Luther King formed the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party when Black voters trying to register to vote were thwarted at every turn. Fannie Lou Hamer worked to help establish the Head Start program in 1965. She founded the Freedom Farm Cooperative in 1969 with a goal of creating self sufficiency for rural Black sharecroppers and farmers.

Along with Dr. King, and several members of SNCC, Student Nonviolent Coord. Comm, Mrs. Hamer spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, N.J. in 1964. She was a powerful speaker who would not be deterred by unfair voter registration tests, nor threats from white supremacist groups. How The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party started (includes Fannie Lou Hamer's famous speech)

President Johnson, trying to deflect attention from her speech, called an impromptu press conference, but news stations later aired Mrs. Hamer’s speech on the evening news. The Voting Rights Act was signed by Pres. Johnson in 1965.

Ms. Hamilton has given life to Fannie Lou Hamer’s spirit and convictions, and through her interviews we gain insight into how much Mrs. Hamer influenced civil rights activists, theologians, and politicians.

As seen in interviews in Robin Hamilton’s documentary, Fannie Lou Hamer was a uniting and uplifting voice to small and large gatherings alike. With her powerful voice she brought inspiration to those striving for equality singing her favorite hymns.

4th Edition of Epiphany Newsletter (corrected). This is a revised edition from the email posted this morning. - Clip from today's edition: Jim Wallis and Sojourners . . .Jim Wallis, founder and editor of Sojourner Magazine, has long been an advocate for social justice and peace. In his years as evangelical theologian and political activist, Wallis has argued for the Church’s need to reach out and show God’s love to victims of poverty, racism, and other forms of discrimination. He advises that “it is imperative that faith communities come together to protect the vulnerable and afraid, speak the truth to power, act in prayer and discernment, and stand up in solidarity and support for those who are most in danger. As a youth, Wallis found his questions about race inequality led to no answers from his white community. Not to be denied, he set out to build bridges to the blacks in the Detroit area. “Of course, there were many moments that became great eye openers for me, what in the faith community are sometimes called ‘epiphanies’.” “I always tell young people to trust and follow their questions until they get to places where they will find the answers to them.” Now nearing 50 Sojourners, founded in the early 1970’s by Trinity Evangelical Divinity School students, is a “committed group of Christians who work together to live a gospel life that integrates spiritual renewal and social justice.” . . .
