#StoriesThatMove: They called it the “Mississippi Appendectomy.” But it wasn’t surgery—it was violence. From the 1920s to the 1980s, poor Black women in the South were forcibly sterilized without consent. Fannie Lou Hamer was given a hysterectomy without her knowledge or consent. This was not a medical mistake. It was a system designed to control and erase. Know the name. Know the truth. ✊🏾 Source: Joel Bervell via Instagram #FannieLouHamer #Storytelling #UntoldStories #CivilRights #MarchOn | M

Support this work at ko-fi.com/kelliesnider The “Mississippi Appendectomy” wasn’t surgery for an appendix. It was a racist euphemism for the forced sterilization of Black women—often discovered only years later, when a woman learned the reason she couldn’t get pregnant was because she no longer had a uterus. From Fannie Lou Hamer to countless unnamed women, this was not medical care. It was a system of control. And its legacy still touches reproductive rights today. Sources / Reading List: Hamer
