Annie Bell Robinson Devine
- Annie Bell Robinson Devine
Annie Bell Robinson Devine (1912-2000) was an activist in the American Civil Rights Movement. From Canton, Mississippi, Devine began meeting with other blacks in Canton to discuss civil rights issues. She eventually quit her job selling insurance to work full-time for the Congress of Racial Equality. In 1964, Devine joined Fannie Lou Hamer and Victoria Gray Adams in becoming the first black women to speak before the United States House of Representatives. The three were elected state representatives for the progressive Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.
