- Authoritative Name:
- DeVine, Annie
- Biography:
- A Mississippi civil rights activist. Devine participated in the Freedom Summer Project, Mississippi, 1964. "She attended the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City along with Victoria Gray-Adams and Fannie Lou Hamer. Their objective was to unseat their state's all-white delegation and be recognized as delegates of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, of which Mrs. Devine was a founder...Their effort, called the Mississippi Challenge, failed in the short run, but led to a nationwide lobbying drive by the Mississippi Freedom Democrats and calls for Congressional investigations into voting in Mississippi. Thus, the three women's resolve fed into the groundswell that produced the Voting Rights Act of 1965." (http://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/01/us/annie-devine-88-rights-advocate-in-mississippi.html)
