The Fannie Lou Hamer Statue Committee (FLHSC) is a
not-for-profit, non political organization comprised of
local, regional and national civil rights activists,
scholars and community leaders who serve as
fundraising and educational ambassadors in
conjunction with the City of Ruleville, public, private
and individual initiatives to help achieve the goals of
the Fannie Lou Hamer Statue project.
The FLHSC exists solely for the purpose of
supporting efforts to honor and pay tribute to Mrs.
Hamer by commissioning the construction of a
full-length statue of the civil and human rights leader,
to be placed on permanent display at the Fannie Lou
Hamer Memorial Garden in Ruleville, Mississippi.
