Meeting Dedication : 

Meeting Dedication Unita Blackwell ( b. 1933 ) Mayor of Mayersville, Mississippi Born March 18, 1933 in Lula, Mississippi. Political career started with registering Black Mississippians to vote. Her role in voter registration was at the expense of being attacked by the KKK, having crosses burned in her front yard, and arrest by Mississippi Law Enforcement. Nonetheless she persevered

Unita Blackwell : 

Unita Blackwell In 1964, she along with Fannie Lou Hamer was a key organizer of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP). The MFDP challenged the state’s ‘regular’ Democratic party- which denied blacks the opportunity to participate in the electoral process. In 1976 She became the Mayor of Mayersville, MI –meaning she was the state’s 1st Black female mayor. She also served as second vice-president of the National Conference of Black Mayors, and chair of the Black Women Mayors’ Caucus She is quoted as saying: “Nothin’ from nothin’, leaves nothin’; We don’t have nothin’, so we ain’t loosing nothin’ and our life don’t mean nothin’ if we continue this way with no freedom.”
