So gratifying to see, at long last, the great voting rights activist & legend Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer recognized with a presidential Medal of Freedom. A true champion of democracy, and personal hero.

LNP Kooyong candidate Hamer: I’m a renter I relate to how tough it is.
Also Hamer: Now others raise it, I also own 2 investment properties.

Happy Juneteenth, DC. Fannie Lou Hamer said it plainly, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” Today is Juneteenth, a celebration marking the day the news of freedom finally reached enslaved people in Texas.
