Billie Jean Young talks about performing her play, "Fannie Lou Hamer: This Little Light" all around the world. Origin of "Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired" is discussed with La-Verne Cody Gittens on LINK, Everyday Dramas In The Lives Of African Americans
Billie Jean Young's art and performances have made her an international ambassador who majestically represents the beauty and resilience of our people. Thank you for writing.
Fannie Lou Hamer was my relative, she was married to my father's 1st cousin, Perry Pap Hamer, and also the ironic thing about some dates surrounding her was that she did the 1st civil rights march on my 2nd birth-day August 31, 1962 and she died on my mother's birthday, Mach 14, 1977! She was truly a hero!
