61k | Named after Medgar Wiley Evers - slain civil rights leader and Army veteran, who is especially remembered for his efforts to end segregation at the University of Mississippi in the 1950s and for his opposition to Jim Crow laws in the 1960s. Evers was appointed Mississippi's first NAACP field officer in 1954 and held the position until his assassination in the front yard of his Mississippi home the night of June 12, 1963, by White Citizens' Council and Ku Klux Klan member Byron De La Beckwith. Evers' murder, which occurred only hours after President John F. Kennedy delivered a televised, pro-civil rights speech, was mourned nationally. |
