David James here with some photos:This is the grave site of Fannie Lou Hamer, one of my civil rights heroes, and her husband Perry "Pap" Hamer in Ruleville. That jail was tiny. It was a holding cell in Drew, MS where Charles McLaurin and 13 others (!) were stashed overnight by the Sunflower County cops. We figured it to be about 15 feet by maybe 25 feet, but it was divided into three cells. The group photo, also from Ruleville, is of us at the Sunflower County Freedom Project in Ruleville, with high schoo student program members. It's to better prepare them for college. More in yesterday's post.
