This source is about who Medgar Evers is and how he fought for freedom. Evers, a black american, fought to the idea of “racial justice”. Medgar evers assassination made him one of the first martyers of the civil rights movement. This also explains his work to secure rights for black people inspired fear and hatred among white racists. Medgar was inspired by his experiences and decided to bring his civil rights movement to Mississippi. NAACP was started in 1909, white didn’t like the verbal and physical abuse towards the black americans so they helped blacks get equality under the law. The white men with guns provoked blacks to do anything, in Mississippi, a white man could kill a black man without be afraid that he will be going to jail. Medgar Evers, a civil rights activist, was assassinated in the year 1963, in his driveway by a white supremacist. This supports the part of my thesis that he wasn’t a racist activist.

This source was written by Williams, Michael Vinson of “Mississippi Martyr”. This source is about Medgar Evers who served as the NAACP’s first field secretary in Mississippi until an assassin shot him down in the driveway of his Jackson home, within view of his wife, Myrlie, and children. Evers never gave up the struggle to “form a new Mississippi that embraced all its citizens equality.” The story of this admirable and principled man, whose nine years in a leadership post at the front lines of the civil rights struggle in “what could be historically termed the most racially oppressive state in America” ended at the age of 37 when he was shot dead by a white supremacist. Evers and his family had lived under the shadow of death threats, which both Medgar and Myrlie knew were not idle remarks, but rather stark warnings aimed at anyone who sought to upend the state’s entrenched white supremacy. His accused killer, Byron De La Beckwith, left fingerprints on the gun used in the murder, and was later alleged to have bragged about his actions while attending a Ku Klux Klan rally.
