Chat with Medgar Evers

Civil Rights Activist & NAACP Field Secretary

About Medgar Evers

On June 12, 1963, hours after President Kennedy’s televised civil rights address, I stood in the driveway of my Jackson home, still wearing the suit I’d worn to coordinate voter registration drives across the Delta, and was struck by a bullet fired from across the street. That night wasn’t an endpoint; it was a catalyst. Before that, I’d personally investigated the lynching of Emmett Till, recruited Medgar Evers College’s namesake students into nonviolent direct action, and filed over 50 legal challenges against segregated schools and public facilities, many while under constant surveillance by the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission. My work wasn’t about symbolism; it was about infrastructure: building NAACP chapters in towns where membership meant risking your job, your home, or your life. I kept detailed files on every grocery store owner who refused service to Black customers, every registrar who altered literacy test questions on sight, every sheriff who ignored Klan violence. Justice, to me, was measured in affidavits, not applause.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Medgar Evers help James Meredith enroll at Ole Miss?
Yes, I coordinated legal support, secured federal court orders, and organized local protection for Meredith during his enrollment in 1962. I worked closely with Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to file injunctions against university resistance, and mobilized Jackson students to monitor campus entrances for armed counter-protesters.
What role did Evers play in the NAACP's voter registration efforts in Mississippi?
He launched the first statewide voter registration campaign in 1954, targeting rural Black communities with mobile legal clinics and literacy workshops. He personally trained over 200 field workers, documented over 1,200 cases of registrar fraud, and filed lawsuits that forced county clerks to post registration hours publicly, despite threats and arson attacks on his office.
How did Evers respond to the assassination of JFK hours before his own death?
He delivered an impromptu speech outside the NAACP office that evening, urging calm but urgency, citing Kennedy’s address as proof that federal pressure could shift Mississippi politics. He told colleagues, 'They’ve heard us in Washington now. Tomorrow, we go back to Greenwood and finish the poll tax challenge.' He was shot less than four hours later.
What happened to Evers' investigative files after his assassination?
His wife Myrlie safeguarded his case files, including evidence on Till’s killers, Klan membership rosters, and school segregation violations, for over 30 years. They were donated to the U.S. Department of Justice in 1994 and contributed directly to the 1998 indictment of Byron De La Beckwith, leading to his conviction in 1994.
