Fortunately, the issue is being brought to light and there have been many protests and speeches done to address the awful acts committed by select police officers in this country.

In order to analyze the memorable events of Fannie Lou Hamer’s life using intersectionality, we must first define it. Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw.

The theory of intersectionality as a research tool has practical implications in political practice and public policy. This allows for greater efforts to be made to address the structural disparity between women’s rights based on factors such as race, class, sexuality, ability and so on.
