Description

The Autobiography of Medgar Evers is the first and only comprehensive collection of the words of slain civil rights hero Medgar Evers. Evers became a leader of the civil rights movement during the late 1950s and early 1960s. He established NAACP chapters throughout the Mississippi delta region, and eventually became the NAACPs first field secretary in Mississippi. Myrlie Evers-Williams, Medgars widow, partnered with Manning Marable, one of the countrys leading black scholars, to develop this book based on the previously untouched cache of Medgars personal documents and writings. These writings range from Medgars monthly reports to the NAACP to his correspondence with luminaries of the time such as Robert Carter, General Counsel for the NAACP in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. Still, most moving of all, is the preface written by Myrlie Evers.
