  • Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was born on July 2, 1925, in Decatur, Mississippi. In 1954, he became the first state field secretary of the NAACP in Mississippi. As such, he organized voter-registration efforts and economic boycotts, and investigated crimes perpetrated against blacks. Evers was assassinated outside of his Mississippi home in 1963, and after years of on-again, off-again legal proceedings, his killer was sent to prison in 1994. In 2017, President Barack Obama designated Evers's home a national historic landmark. #Biography

    It was so sad that Medgar Evan's, as a soldier, fought for this country, came back to his country, to fight for civil rights, only to be gunned down. It was a terrible time, back then, but Medgar Evans, was a true warrior soldier, to take a stand, and I appreciate what he did, trying to make this world a better place. Rest in PARADISE Mr. Medgar Evans

    I had the privilege to speak about Medgar a couple of years ago.
    I hope my presentation did him justice,although I feel that myself,or anyone trying to do so would fall terribly short.God willing, I get the chance to meet him in Heaven,since I was too young to meet him here on earth.May God hold you close Medgar,and know that generations will continue to know and love you for your sacrifice as a soldier abroad, and a soldier here for equal rights for all.

    Byron is forshame for killing Medgar Evers. However in the 1970, Medgar Evers College schools in Carroll Street and in Bedford Avenue were built and now part of the City University of New York for all African-American students to pursue into a career they are now into. : )

    The information is wrong on this. Emmett Tibbs died for whistling at a white woman, Medgar was 37 when he was shot and killed and he last 0ver 50 minutes before he passed away.
