                                                                               "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED"


<>I Question America begins with Fannie Lou as a very young girl living and working on the plantation with her parents and siblings. It depicts years of hard work in the cotton fields for little or no money, but food  and denotes her first awareness of the inequality between the Blacks and Whites’ way of living. She became more aware of this inequality and unrest within her was unsettling.  This provoked her to seek a better way. One day upon hearing from Mr. Forman, that the Blacks had a right to vote according to the Constitution, she began  her fight  for civil rights for not only Blacks but  poor Whites, alike.  Her determination took her around  the Country protesting and speaking against racism in Mississippi and eventually addressed the Halls of Congress.  In the interim she was abused and beaten beyond what any human or animal should had to endure. Her efforts were not in vain for she did make a difference and forced some changes to occur right in her very own community, Ruleville, Mississippi, as well as across the Country by alerting Northern Blacks and whites of the injustices in the South. Her efforts during the Civil Rights Movement assisted in getting the Voting Rights Act, Equal Employment and Federal Housing laws passed.
