In a seedy jail in Sunflower County, Mississippi, the local sheriff was asserting his power over the body of a sharecropper named Fannie Lou Hamer, who was in jail for trying to register to vote. “You bitch, we gon’ make you wish you was dead,” the officer grunted, before ordering two other black inmates to take turns beating her senseless with a blackjack.
