Medgar Evers
Medgar Evers was a prominent civil rights activist and the first state field secretary for the NAACP in Mississippi. Born on July 2, 1925, Evers dedicated his life to fighting racial segregation and advocating for voting rights for African Americans. He played a critical role in organizing demonstrations, boycotts, and other civil rights activities in the South. Tragically, Evers was assassinated on June 12, 1963, outside his home in Jackson, Mississippi, a murder that underscored the violent resistance to the civil rights movement. His legacy continues to inspire generations in the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality.
