Medgar Evers  

Définition(s)

  • African American civil rights activist Medgar Wiley Evers was born in Decatur, Mississippi, on July 2, 1925, to James Evers, who worked at a sawmill, and his wife Jessie. As field secretary for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Mississippi in the 1950s and early 1960s, Evers critiqued racial inequality and encouraged black Mississippians to fight against it in the state in which segregation seemed most entrenched. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Evers, Medgar]
