Moore continued, "Fan Lou Hamer's impact on humanity is immeasurable. There is much to learn from her life and her resilience. We are proud of Felicia Hunter's incredible work and honored to bring “Scenes and Songs from FANNIE LOU" to the Baltimore market.”
To date, Fannie Lou and its sister production "Scenes and Songs from Fannie Lou" have been performed before a variety of audiences and in various locations in Connecticut, Washington, DC, and New York City, including a performance at world-renowned Carnegie Hall, and a performance at Yale University marking the 100th anniversary of Mrs. Hamer's birth.
