From New York Amsterdam News:
“I’m a fan of history. I thought of Fannie Lou Hamer and what she had to go through when she had to fight for the rights of Blacks to vote,” said Eva Doyle as she spoke to the AmNews from her home in Buffalo, N.Y.
The name of Hamer’s party? The Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.
Doyle looks to follow in Hamer’s footsteps as she runs for lieutenant governor of New York State under the current Freedom Party ticket led by Councilman Charles Barron, who is challenging Andrew Cuomo for governor. Ramon Jimenez, a Bronx native, will run for state attorney general.
