On June 12, 1963, a scream permeated the air as Myrlie Evers opened her door to discover her husband, Medgar Evers, a civil rights leader in Jackson, Mississippi, collapsed on the ground. Moments before he had been shot in the back by an assassin’s bullet. Less than an hour later, he would die in an all-white hospital.
Evers’s death would shock a nation! His wife would spend decades to get justice for her husband, a struggle later written about in her book and in the movie Ghosts of Mississippi.
In this episode Denise and Zelda discuss the amazing man Medgar Evers was before his death at age 37 and explore what little is known of his family tree. Then we touch briefly on his killer.
