NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO FANNIE LOU HAMER. In 1963, Fannie Lou Hamer was arrested in Winona, Mississippi, after helping Black Americans register to vote. While in custody, she was brutally beaten by police and other prisoners under their direction. The injuries left her with lasting physical damage. Her crime? Demanding a right that America claimed its citizens already had. Hamer was a sharecropper who understood that the right to vote was about far more than casting a ballot. It was about having a voice in a country that had spent generations trying to keep Black people powerless. They threatened her. They attacked her. They tried to make an example of her. But she refused to be silent. She went on to challenge the political system that excluded Black Americans, speaking before the nation at the 1964 Democratic National Convention and exposing the violence and discrimination Black voters faced in Mississippi. Fannie Lou Hamer's story is a reminder that many of the rights people take for granted today were secured by people who paid an extraordinary price to demand them. They wanted her to be afraid. Instead, she made America listen. History must never forget her name. To keep these stories alive, we have uncovered and documented crimes against Black people that have remained unanswered.

NEVER FORGET: Few months after this speech, Fred Hampton was brutally assassinated on his bed. He was hit with over 90+ bull€ts while his pregnant partner was beside him. This is how Black revolutions across the globe were destroyed

Muhammad Ali gave this interview with no title, no boxing licence, and a 5-year prison sentence hanging over him. He still would not answer to "Cassius." Watch him destroy the host!

NEVER FORGET: Malcolm X was only 39 when his life was cut short. His demand for Black dignity remains relevant even today He challenged Black Americans to look beyond the history they had been given and ask deeper questions about their names, identity, ancestry, and culture. Malcolm X wasn't simply demanding that America treat Black people better. He was questioning the entire political structure that kept Black people dependent on it He was asking what Black people could organize, control, protect, and build for themselves. And that political evolution was still unfolding when Malcolm X was assassinated at just 39 years old.
