Title
A name given to the resource
Reform (Social or Labor)
Description
An account of the resource
The reform collection highlights those women who dared to influence labor changes to expand worker control over their conditions or who dared to reform society in a positive manner. In the United States, women have historically been major contributors to the great reform movements. Although their work is not given as much credit as those of their male counterparts, it was women who did much of the grassroots campaigning for universal suffrage, abolition of slavery, labor legislation, prison reform, social welfare programs, asylum reform, religious freedom, peace programs, and universal education. This collection then highlights the work of some of those activists and encourages us to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

Biographical Text
Hamer was an civil rights activist in Mississippi. After growing up in poverty and often going hungry as a child, she spent her life in service to issues of segregation and injustice in the south. Much of her work took place within the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which was comprised mostly of African-American students engaging in acts of civil disobedience. In 1964, Hamer helped found the Mississippi Freedom of Democratic Party. A famous quote from Fannie Lou, made into her epitaph, is “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
