Make A Contribution

By 1971 Fannie Lou Hamer’s Freedom Farm Cooperative (FFC) farmed almost 700 acres of land that they used primarily to raise subsistence crops and some cotton as a cash crop. Hamer sold FFC cooperative membership for one dollar each and to refuse to turn away people who said they didn’t have the membership fee. Myers found that only a minority of families bought memberships of the majority, some 1500 families benefited from the FFC subsistence food harvest without paying a dime or contributed sweat equity in exchange for the produce they received.
