Exploited Bodies: Episode Four of Exploited Bodies: The Crimes and Injustices Against Black Women in Medicine: FANNIE LOU HAMER: When Activism Meets Medical Abuse.
In this powerful episode, we uncover the shocking medical injustice forced upon civil rights icon Fannie Lou Hamer — a survivor of what she exposed as the “Mississippi Appendectomy,” the widespread sterilization of Black women without their knowledge or consent. Fannie Lou Hamer survived—and she told the truth. She called it the “Mississippi Appendectomy.” And by doing so, she forced America to confront a crime it tried to bury. During what was supposed to be a routine surgery in 1961, Fannie Lou Hamer awoke to find that doctors had taken her womb without permission. This act of medical violence became the turning point that transformed her pain into one of the most influential voices in the fight for civil rights, bodily autonomy, and reproductive justice.
This episode explores:
• What happened to Fannie Lou Hamer
• The system of forced sterilization targeting Black women
• How medical racism shaped the lives of thousands
• The rise of her activism and her legacy in the Civil Rights Movement
• The cost, courage, and power of speaking truth to injustice
Fannie Lou Hamer’s story is not just history — it is a warning, a testimony, and a call to remember the women whose bodies were exploited in the name of “medicine.”
