Answer 1

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

They were beaten and fired from their jobs, is the right answer.

Fannie Lou Hamer was a community organizer, women's rights and voting activist from America. She was a personality who actively provided leadership to the civil rights movement.

In the year 1962, Hamer came to know about the voting rights provided by the constitution from enlistees at the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Accordingly, she directly participated in the civil rights movement and moved to Indianola, Mississippi, with some other activists to register herself to vote. However, when she tried to register herself for voting she was promptly fired and kicked off the farm.
