Book Reviews of For Freedom's Sake: The Life of Fannie Lou Hamer (Women in American History)

Book Review: A good story, but not well told
Summary: 3 Stars

Fannie Lou Hamer is fascinating. The writing style of the author can be a bit thick at times, and it's not a whole lot of fun to read (unless you're studying the stuff).
