First, she did all that she was allowed to do. Second, she was denied an education. Third she was denied the right to vote. No where has any one questioned the dignity of this marvelous woman. I strenuously object to the characterization that she had choices. She was not free and the State of Mississippi ensured that she and those of similar skin color stayed sharecroppers. There were no choices and you really are clueless if you believe she did.

@meetman57 umm shes 85 years old, back then jobs were scarce and education small, im sure she was grateful for her job and whats wrong with picking cotton? it needed to be picked right? without cotton pickers you wouldnt have had cotton right? in those days it was hard to make a living, this state was very poor.. she did what she had to do.

In this woman, we can see so much of why we survived. Her strength is so very evident. So very. She is to be honored, eternally. God Bless!

I will forever pay homage to my ancestors. Listening to this woman, I could not help but see my own mother in her face, her mannerisms and her speech. She too is a native of Mississippi and she also picked cotton like this Queen Mother here. It is because of these Queens that I am where I am. I feel that if more of our youth had a better understanding of their lineage, they would have more respect for their present and their future. Thank you for this beautiful video.

Thank you for uploading this beautiful video of Ms. Lou Mae Wilham. This is history, living history that needs to be archived and studied, never forgotten. I appreciate your effort.
