Fannie Lou Hamer's testimony at the 1964 Democratic National Convention was so powerful that President Lyndon B. Johnson called an impromptu press conference to get her off the air.
That's a powerful scene in the recent TV movie All the Way with Brian Cranston as LBJ, her crime was to attempt to vote.
