A 2012 collection of suites by trumpeter and composer Wadada Leo Smith, who grew up in segregated Mississippi, "Ten Freedom Summers" includes ""Fannie Lou Hamer and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, 1964"" as one of its 19 suites. A picture book about Hamer's life, "Voice of Freedom: Fannie Lou Hamer, Spirit of the Civil Rights Movement", was written by Carole Boston Weatherford; it won a Coretta Scott King Award. Hamer is also one of 28 civil rights icons depicted on the Buffalo, New York Freedom Wall. And a quote from Hamer's speech at the 1964 Democratic National Convention is carved on one of the eleven granite columns at the Civil Rights Garden in Atlantic City, where the convention was held.
