摘要、提要註:	Fannie Lou Hamer is most commonly known for the testimony she delivered to the Credentials Committee at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Hamer's testimony, however, was just one address within a much larger rhetorical career. From 1962-1977, Hamer traveled nationally and internationally speaking before college students, concerned activists, and congressional subcommittees on issues ranging from poverty politics to feminist coalition building. She delivered speeches throughout Mississippi in bids for public office, shared the platform with Malcolm X in Harlem, and emboldened the students of Freedom Summer through her song. This dissertation takes as its starting point the observation that Hamer's worldview was fundamentally grounded on her belief in the power of the word and thus her philosophy of social change was deeply rhetorical. Consonant with Hamer's lived experience in a deeply oral culture, this dissertation foregrounds the influence of "the word"---be it sacred or secular, spoken, sung, written, or televised. It recovers the lost words of this key civil rights activist for whom we heretofore had only three published texts. Through archival research and interviews I have located, transcribed, and authenticated more than twenty-five of Hamer's previously unpublished speeches, from ten archival collections in seven different US cities. Having reconstructed Hamer's rhetorical corpus, the dissertation analyzes the multiple forms of discourse she produced during her public activism, extracts from her words Hamer's theory of rhetorical action, and interrogates Hamer's public memory. I argue that changes over time in her discourse reflect modifications in Hamer's philosophy of activism especially with regard to issues of representation, recognition, and confrontation. Whereas Hamer began her career asking federal institutions to remedy the injustices in her state, she spent her final days condemning those institutions and promoting self-reliance within her local community. Recovering and analyzing Hamer's rhetoric illuminates her contribution to the struggle for social justice in the United States and provides grounds to reconceptualize the role rhetoric multiple modes of rhetoric in the black freedom movement.

Fannie Lou Hamer is most commonly known for the testimony she delivered to the Credentials Committee at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Hamer's testimony, however, was just one address within a much larger rhetorical career. From 1962-1977, Hamer traveled nationally and internationally speaking before college students, concerned activists, and congressional subcommittees on issues ranging from poverty politics to feminist coalition building. She delivered speeches throughout Mississippi in bids for public office, shared the platform with Malcolm X in Harlem, and emboldened the students of Freedom Summer through her song. This dissertation takes as its starting point the observation that Hamer's worldview was fundamentally grounded on her belief in the power of the word and thus her philosophy of social change was deeply rhetorical. Consonant with Hamer's lived experience in a deeply oral culture, this dissertation foregrounds the influence of "the word"---be it sacred or secular, spoken, sung, written, or televised. It recovers the lost words of this key civil rights activist for whom we heretofore had only three published texts. Through archival research and interviews I have located, transcribed, and authenticated more than twenty-five of Hamer's previously unpublished speeches, from ten archival collections in seven different US cities. Having reconstructed Hamer's rhetorical corpus, the dissertation analyzes the multiple forms of discourse she produced during her public activism, extracts from her words Hamer's theory of rhetorical action, and interrogates Hamer's public memory.
