    There is no reason for any African American male not to know this story. Medgar Wylie Evers was a prince in the line of Dubois, Baldwin, Malcolm X and King. These men are our heroes who selflessly argued the case for the humanity and dignity of Black people. He was what we all should be. Thank God for Medgar and the heroes of his generation.

      gdep Man my father told me that Medgar Evers was the civil rights movement. I always had a sour feeling from anyone made famous by the said civil rights movement. Amazing we go back to Harriet Tubman and skeet right up to Obama since I can remember but not one word of Mr. Evers. The voiceless voice that screams angelically without fail through all who were ever directed his way. Man! Just listen!

    I make it my business to make my 7 year old watch and listen. I express how important it is. She doesn't fully understand now , but one day she will. Plant the seed early. The schools don't do it anymore. Our children feel entitled. They do not realize that they are living off of many people's sacrifice. Mine will learn . That's my contribution and the very least I can do.

    Medgar Evers was a great man and American. He fought for Black Mississippians to vote and was assassinated on this day 60 years ago. You deserve as much credit as Dr. King, Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall

He was an incredibly brave man. That was our chance, but it didn't happen, and that chance will never come again. 😢😢💔💔
