Medgar Evans Day marks the anniversary of the assassination of Medgar Evers on June 12, 1963. On this day, some organizations do volunteer work about justice and service, two values Medgar Evers stood for.
Medgar Wiley Evers was a black civil rights leader born on July 2, 1925. His work involved overturning black segregation at the University of Mississippi. He was the field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). He was among those who invaded Normandy during WWII. After the war, he joined NAACP to fight for black people's civil rights.
Evers was responsible for gathering evidence and witnesses for the Emmitt Till murder case, a controversial case that brought light to the plight of African Americans living in the Southern United States during segregation. On June 12, 1963, Evers, a white supremacist, was assassinated by Byron De La Beckwith. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.
His wife's fight for justice is told in the 1996 film "The Ghosts of Mississippi" starring Alec Baldwin, James Woods, and Whoopi Goldberg.
