Answer
In 1970, Fannie Lou Hamer led a legal action against Sunflower County, Mississippi. The lawsuit challenged the county's discriminatory practices in voter registration, which had prevented many African Americans from exercising their right to vote. Hamer's efforts were part of a larger movement to secure voting rights for African Americans in the South, and her case ultimately contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
