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!

@briandouglas1701 3 года назад

yeah there is it is called scrubbing history and sanitation of the story to control the narrative and it is not black folk doing that

How incredibly sad. This house was really nice. The way he had the house set up for his families safety speaks volumes about how bad it was in Mississippi and Alabama etc...

@juanbarberis7192 4 года назад

This account is so sad. It just shows that humans fear what they do not understand. I may be wrong, but we are all ONE. Blessings!

The stories this man would have for today's youth.

@christenasmalls6118 4 месяца назад

No he was for a specific time. The generation of todays youth must choose their own views. They can listen to his words by long ago recordings.

I spoke of Medgar years ago.It was an honor and my privilege.R.I.P. Medgar, you are loved, and will never be forgotten.

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.

I will educate my daughter as well. She's only 2 now. I'll wait until she's a little older than 7 before exposing her the horrors of the Civil Rights movement.

@lisettedevars9423 3 года назад

I'd say that about MLK and Malcolm X too. Three beautiful powerful black men that gave their lives to make this country great. The work continues but we have no more as eloquent as Medgar Evers.

@kearyfrancis1352 2 года назад

Its really intresting to know about the life of medgar here on the island of jamaica in the caribbean his story is an inspiration to black ppl all over and the house museum curator has done a wonderful biography very touching and powerful story yet we can celebrate the life of this wonderful man in an era when blacks struggled to gain acceptace in the fabric of american society.

You ate my shytt. How true that story was I don't know, I never heard that it was based on a true story. I can only imagine. Medgar Evers was a true story. RIP MEDGAR EVERS.

@mrdraye3r 2 года назад

Stumbled upon this. I am glad I did. CRT isn't thought in schools K thru 12 but yet its feared. Examples like this must be taut in our schools, media. This is not just a Mississippi story this is America's shady sad and violent history.

@RaiderRSupastar Год назад

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

@pastorderinzerjohnson6978 2 года назад

Such a tragic that many people who live in Mississippi do not know who this man is. We got to do better teaching black history and American history the true history

@greenbeagle13 8 месяцев назад

I honestly believe that after these men came back from fighting the war for America, this was the time that this country could mend and be made whole and the races mesh together. He was an incredibly brave man. That was our chance, but it didn't happen, and that chance will never come again. 😢😢💔💔
