Help: finding your way around the site
Answers to common questions about using FannieLouHamer.info, from finding a topic and old links to citing pages, printing the lesson plan and reporting errors.
In short
The site is arranged in five sections: her life, the movement, people, places, and teach and remember. Use the menu at the top, the site map, or the links at the end of each page. Old addresses from earlier versions of the domain lead to the page on the same subject. Pages can be printed and cited, and corrections go to contact@fannielouhamer.info.
Where do I start?
If you are new to the subject, read the biography, then her 1964 testimony. For a one-screen summary, use Fannie Lou Hamer at a glance. Teachers should go straight to the lesson plan, and travelers to the Ruleville guide.
How are pages organized?
Each page starts with a short answer and, where useful, a box of key facts, followed by sections that answer one question each, a short FAQ and a list of sources. The sections are her life, the movement, people, places and teach and remember. The site map lists everything.
Does the site work on phones and in dark mode?
Yes. Pages adjust to small screens and follow your device's light or dark setting. If something looks wrong, tell us which device and browser you use.
Is anything for sale or are donations accepted?
No. See our note on donations and merchandise.
Why is this page called help.html?
The address existed on an earlier site on this domain. We kept it for this help page.
Questions readers ask
I followed an old link and landed on a different page. Why?
Earlier versions of this domain had different pages and documents. We sent each old address to the closest page on the same topic. We do not republish old documents.
How do I cite a page from this site?
Give the page title, FLH Info Editorial Team, FannieLouHamer.info, the date shown under the title, and the page address. For research, also cite the primary sources listed at the bottom of the page.
Can I print pages?
Yes. Pages print without the menu and footer. The lesson plan is designed to be printed.
Is there a search box?
No. Use the site map, which lists every page by section, or your browser's search within a page.
