C-SPAN Cities Tour - Jackson: Medgar Evers Historic House
Hear about the life and murder of civil rights activist Medgar Evers. Minnie Watson, Curator at the Medgar Evers House, talks about Evers' military service, role with the NAACP in Mississippi, his impact on the civil rights movement and the symbolism of the family's historic Jackson home.
AP-Medger Evers PKG
I profile the life and home of Medgar Wiley Evers. He was an American civil rights activist in Mississippi and the state's field secretary of the NAACP. The Jackson home of the slain civil rights leader is now a National Historic Landmark.
Jackson: Medgar Evers House
Medgar Wiley Evers (July 2, 1925 – June 12, 1963) was an African American civil rights activist in Mississippi, the state's field secretary for the NAACP, and a World War II veteran, who had served in the United States Army. He worked to overturn segregation at the University of Mississippi, end the segregation of public facilities, and expand opportunities for African Americans, which included the enforcement of voting rights.
A college graduate, Evers became active in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s. Following the 1954 ruling of the United States Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education that segregated public schools were unconstitutional, Evers challenged the segregation of the state-supported public University of Mississippi, applying to law school there. He also worked for voting rights, economic opportunity, access to public facilities, and other changes in the segregated society. Evers was awarded the 1963 NAACP Spingarn Medal.
Medgar Evers lived with the constant threat of death. A large white supremacist population and the Ku Klux Klan were present in Jackson and its suburbs. The risk was so high that before his death, Evers and his wife Myrlie had trained their children on what to do in case of a shooting, bombing or other kind of attack on their lives. Evers, who was regularly followed home by at least two FBI cars and one police car, arrived at his home on the morning of his death without an escort. None of his usual protection was present, for reasons unspecified by the FBI or local police. There has been speculation that many members of the police force at the time were members of the Klan.
In the early morning of June 12, 1963, just hours after President John F. Kennedy's nationally televised Civil Rights Address, Evers pulled into his driveway after returning from a meeting with NAACP lawyers. Evers's family had worried for his safety that day, and Evers himself had warned his wife that he felt in greater danger than usual. When he arrived home, Evers' family was waiting for him and his children exclaimed to his wife, Myrlie, that he had arrived. Emerging from his car and carrying NAACP T-shirts that read Jim Crow Must Go, Evers was struck in the back with a bullet fired from an Enfield 1917 rifle; the bullet passed through his heart. Initially thrown to the ground by the impact of the shot, Evers rose and staggered 30 feet (10 meters) before collapsing outside his front door. His wife Myrlie was the first to find him. He was taken to the local hospital in Jackson, where he was initially refused entry because of his race. His family explained who he was and he was admitted; he died in the hospital 50 minutes later. Evers was the first African American to be admitted to an all-white hospital in Mississippi, a questionable achievement for the dying activist. Mourned nationally, Evers was buried on June 19 in Arlington National Cemetery, where he received full military honors before a crowd of more than 3,000.
In 2017, the Medgar and Myrlie Evers House was named as a National Historic Landmark.[51] Two years later, in 2019, the site was designated a National Monument.

HOT NEWS Jackson 2017 Best of Jackson MS Tourism
Jackson Tourism. The City of Jackson is the capital city and largest urban center of the U.S. state of Mississippi. It is the primary seat of Hinds County, equally sharing its county power with the Town of Raymond. The City of Jackson also owns more than 3,000 acres, which is the home of the Jackson-Medgar Evers International Airport located in both Madison and Rankin Counties. Jackson is on the Pearl River, which drains into the Gulf of Mexico, and it is part of the Jackson Prairie region of the state.[4][5] The city is named after General Andrew Jackson, who was honored for his role in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812 and later served as U.S. President.
The current slogan for the city is The City with Soul.[6] It has had numerous musicians prominent in blues, gospel, folk and jazz, and was even mentioned in Mark Ronson's - Uptown Funk ft. Bruno Mars.
The city is the anchor for the metropolitan statistical area (MSA). While its population declined from 184,256 at the 2000 census to 173,514 at the 2010 census, the metropolitan region grew. The 2010 census ascribed a population of 539,057 to the five-county Jackson metropolitan area.

Alabama and Mississippi
Two bordering Southern states in these United States that are about as “Southern” as you can get. One time I mixed them up on a map in a video because my brain messes up sometimes. But yeah, both are in what’s known as the “Deep South,” and unfortunately, both have bad reputations.
When I searched “Alabama jokes” on YouTube, a video about incest was one of the top results. I’m not joking.
Anyway, so while a lot of people joke about how bad they are, in this video I’m taking a serious look at the two states. First of all, Alabama is just slightly bigger than Mississippi. Both have a small border with the Gulf of Mexico. Both have a humid subtropical climate and get A LOT of rain. Both have long, hot, humid summers and short, mild winters. You are rarely going to see snow in these two states. You will see lots of thunderstorms, and the occasional hurricanes. And surprisingly, some of the worst tornadoes in American history have gone through both states.
Mississippi has a more flat topography compared with Alabama. A big reason why is because Alabama has the southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains.
Alabama has a bigger population. Almost 2 million more people. Both are not that urban compared with the rest of the United States. Jackson is Mississippi’s only city with more than 100,000 people, whereas Alabama has five with over 100,000. Mississippi is also one of the few states in the country that has a shrinking population in recent years.
Alabama residents are older than Mississippi residents, on average. Perhaps because more retirees have recently been moving to Alabama? And they don’t call it the “Bible Belt” for nothing. Both states are religious. 83% of Mississippi residents identify as Christian. In Alabama, it’s 86%. A lot of those Christians identify as Evangelical, and specifically Baptists are the largest Evangelical group in both states.
Both states have a high percentage of African Americans relative to the rest of the country. (26.6% AL, 37.4% MS) In fact, Mississippi has the highest percentage of African American residents of all states in the country.
A big reason why there are so many African Americans in both states is the legacy of slavery. Many of their ancestors were forced to live in this part of the country as slaves. Still, the majority of residents in both states today trace their ancestry to Europe.

The Body Of Emmett Till | 100 Photos | TIME
Medgar Evers 1925-1963 by Yu Lu
Medgar Evers was an African-American civil rights activist from Mississippi, who worked tirelessly against racism throughout his life. He spent his childhood and most of his later life in Mississippi, a state where racism was rampant. He had to go to a far-off school that specifically admitted African-Americans and was subjected to racial taunts by the other white children. Even after serving in the army during World War II, Evers did not get the fair treatment he longed for. His leadership qualities came to the fore in college, where he was ‘junior class president’. Having already experienced first-hand the brutal repercussions faced by African-Americans in Mississippi, like lynching, Evers grabbed the chance to fight against it by joining the Regional Council of Negro Leadership (RCNL). He became actively involved with organizing protests and demonstrations against racism. He was denied admission by the University of Mississippi on racial grounds became the subject of a well-publicized campaign to end segregation at the University. Because of his relentless crusade against racism, he made many enemies with the violent and powerful white-supremacists. Just as his endeavours were appearing to bear fruits with President Kennedy’s landmark civil rights address, his life was tragically cut short. Till today, Evers is cherished as one of the foremost champions of the ‘Civil War Movement’.
