Medgar Evers, a native
of Jackson, devoted his
life to fighting for justice
and the dignity of Black
people. He conducted
political education cam
paigns, organized
desegregation petition
drives, led sit-ins and
spearheaded the first suc
cessful boycott of a Jim
Crow department store in
the South before the era
of Martin Luther King.
“Medgar was a
pioneer. He was the first,
if you will, of the civil
rights leaders,” says
Myrlie Evers. “He paved
the way for some others
to come behind him and I
know how much he gave
and how sincere he was a
bout it. I just believe that he
needs to be remembered
so much more than what
he is today, but hopefully
this is the beginning of
that.”
The program also
features film clips from
public television’s
docudrama, “For Us,
The Living,” focusing on
the final years of Evers’
life. Based on the book
by Mrs. Evers, the
program starred the
celebrated actor Howard
Rollins.
Rollins tells Host Tony
Brown that he was in
spired by Evers’
monumental accom
plishments and bemoans
the fact that he is one of
our forgotten heroes:
“You are in Atlanta
working on the story of
this man’s life and you
ask someone young, li
suppose anywhere bet
ween 14 and 16, ‘Do you
know who Medgar Evers
was? Sure he was a
baseball player.’ Well,
then of course you
recognize the immediate
and overwhelming need
to address this man’s
existence clearly again,
honestly, and as
genuinely as one can. ’ ’
